A question Marissa Mayer of Google couldn't answer on CNBC: Will Chrome take over IE?
In a recent CNBC interview with Marissa Mayer, Google's VP of Search Products and User Experience
a question arose from one of the interviewers which was "Do you want to
Replace IE?", which I personally believe was such a lame question as
there was no mention of Mozilla Firefox which is Chrome's first
challenge and realistically as we all know their only challenge to
being the most used Web browser.
Mayer of Google did not confirm
this question with a "Yes" or a "No" response, which I think in
fairness was justified based on my previous point, she however did
answer with a very positive message of how Google is advancing the Web
Browser and expanding everyone's perception of how the Web should be
used, personally I think Chrome has got a way to go, but has made a positive start.
This
whole notion she was trying to throw at the CNBC audience of
"Javascript" changes and UI changes probably didn't bode too well
either , it certainly appeared to catch out the hosts who unwittingly
started talking about general Google features such as "Google Suggest"
as a way to help tone down the conversation to a more general level
which almost turned into idle chit-chat at one point.
I have
nothing but the highest of praise for Marissa Mayer, she has become a
very inspirational part of the Google team and continues to provide
fantastic innovative products for the company, here is a video of her
speaking at Stanford University which can justify entirely why she is
such a great member of the Google team:
