Many androids may be very upset about this news, or at least sound like a joke, but the truth is that the Redmond company would be planning to launch its web browser for the Google operating system. An Android version of Internet Explorer could be the next step that Microsoft would take to cut the ground that separates them in the world of mobile phones from the other two giants, Apple and Google.
Internet Explorer was for a long time the most used, although not the most popular. Microsoft's browser came pre-installed on all machines that came with their own operating system. This made it the option of many users, who did not complicate looking for another. However, this situation has changed over time, and in countries like Spain, for example, Internet Explorer fell to be the third most used, giving way to Firefox as the second on the list. Not being the fastest, nor the most compatible, nor the simplest for developers, nor the most secure, it was a matter of time before Internet Explorer went down. Google Chrome has taken its place as the most used.
Interestingly, Microsoft would now switch to Google's reverse strategy. Bring your own browser to the operating system of the company that develops the most used browser of its own operating system. Come on, they are going to launch a version of Internet Explorer for Android, or at least, that's what the rumors say. It is something logical and to be expected, because one of the things that makes Google Chrome more useful is the synchronization between the smartphone and the computer. Given that Android is the most widely used mobile operating system in the world, if Microsoft wants to have a similar function that most users can use, they will have no choice but to launch their browser for Android, and that is precisely what pretend to do. When and how it will be is something that is not yet clear, but they will have to do a great job if they really plan to beat Google on their ground.
