Google, Microsoft, Apple Create WebExtensions Community Group: Expect Better Internet Browsing

Google, Apple, and Microsoft decided to work together to bring a smoother and better internet browsing experience. These giant tech firms confirmed that they will recruit other companies to join their innovation.

As of the moment, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Edge are the leading browsers that people use to search on the internet. Each of them has some advantages over the other. And now, all these internet tools and Mozilla Firefox confirmed that they will improve their extensions to enhance the overall user experience.

If you have no idea what is an extension on a search tool, this technology is an add-on in the top browsers. This means that it can be downloaded depending on your choice. To give you more idea, here are the details of the newly formed WebExtensions Community Group.

Google, Apple, and Microsoft Collab

According to Gadgets Now's the latest report, Google, Microsoft, and Apple created the so-called WebExtensions Community Group. This collaboration is specifically developed to help various engineers by offering them a new platform.

This innovation will help these developers create a unified and secure extension.

Google and its new partners confirmed that their WECG is excited to explore how browser vendors and other interested companies can work together to create a common browser extension platform.

Although this is the case, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Mozilla didn't confirm if they will delete their independent extensions in the future. As of the moment, the best thing you can do as a consumer is to wait for the giant tech firms' final decision.

Google's Own Innovation

Although the three giant tech firms joined forces, Google is still making some efforts to benefit its consumers. The search engine giant said that its popular Chrome browser will soon notify the user if an extension can be trusted or not.

The Verge explained that this new feature is designed to make spot dubious downloads and extensions easier to access. On the other hand, Google also explained that this new safety feature is also built upon Chrome's Enhanced Safe Browsing feature.
