Security experts say that Google users of older Android smartphones with Android 4.3 or lower to their fate now leaves the tech giant has decided not to fix more bugs in the standard Android browser.
Again, Google put a step to make users of Android smartphones even more dependent on its own products and services. Google has decided the standard Android browser in older Android smartphones no longer provide updates. Meanwhile, already so many bugs and security problems found that the use of this browser in fact no longer as ‘safe’ dubbed can be.
The Android operating system has been around since 2007, a private white label web browser. In recent years, Google has been more and more its own Chrome browser to the push to users of Android smartphones. On most Android smartphones now therefore usually run two browsers:. Both white label Android browser like Google Chrome browser
Android smartphones running Android 4.3 or lower is the default web browser based on an older browser engine that meanwhile completely leak was shot by hackers. Google refuses to update the browser since browsers are simply “too old”. Newer versions of the standard web browser for Android is based on the same browser engine as where Google’s own Chrome browser runs on.
Want to users of Android smartphones running Android 4.3 or lower still “safe” to the internet, then these users are now using actually forced Google’s Chrome browser, which Google several other private services such as Google+ actively promoting.
The last few years have been several standard white label applications in Android replaced by ones with a clear Google stamp. That Google is trying to boost its own services actively by users of Android smartphones ‘impose’ those services. For example, Google – unsuccessfully – tried her Google Hangouts app to impose user as default SMS app. Also, in recent years include the default gallery app and the music replaced by variants with a large Google stamp.
At the end of 2013 published GSM Helpdesk an opinion piece about the possible abuse of power of Google with Android. Meanwhile, the behavior of Google also appears already to have attracted the attention of the European Union. In the summer of 2014 it was announced that the EU is investigating the dominance of Android and possible abuse of power by Google with Android
