• 周五,Google Chrome总经理帕里萨·塔布里兹出席美国司法部针对谷歌(Google)非法垄断搜索市场的听证会。她表示,Chrome的成功与谷歌“不可分割”,并强调她“认为其成功不会在其他环境中复现”。
谷歌坚信,作为全球最受欢迎的网页浏览器,Chrome只有在其掌控下才能良好运营,若易手他人必将受到影响。
周五,Google Chrome总经理帕里萨·塔布里兹在联邦法庭上表示:”试图将两者割裂开来是前所未有的做法。”
塔布里兹指出,Google Chrome是Chrome团队、谷歌以及为该公司开源Chromium项目做出技术贡献的公司之间“17年协作”的结晶。谷歌旗下的其他多个项目(包括安卓(Android)应用系统)也使用了该开源项目的资源。塔布里兹表示,“谷歌为Chromium投入了数亿美元”,但她强调其他公司“目前并未做出任何实质性贡献”。
在周五长达数小时的听证会中,塔布里兹明确表示,若谷歌按司法部的要求被迫出售Chrome(司法部同时要求共享部分支撑搜索结果的用户数据),最终将损害Chrome的发展。
在评价Chrome在谷歌运营下取得的成功时,塔布里兹表示:“若脱离谷歌管理,Chrome的成就不可能被复制。”
塔布里兹还透露,Chrome团队正致力于将人工智能深度整合到浏览器中,以增强其”代理能力”——换言之,谷歌希望Chrome能代表用户自动执行任务,涵盖表单填写、信息检索到在线购物等场景。(财富中文网)

• Parisa Tabriz, general manager for Google Chrome, testified Friday during the DOJ’s antitrust case against Google’s illegal monopoly in the search market. Tabriz said it’s impossible to “disentangle” Google from the success of Chrome, adding she doesn’t “think it could be recreated” elsewhere.
Google believes it’s the only company that can operate Chrome, the world’s most popular web browser, and that it would suffer in anyone else’s hands.
“Trying to disentangle that is unprecedented,” Parisa Tabriz, general manager of Google Chrome, said in federal court Friday.
Tabriz said Google Chrome is the result of “17 years of collaboration” between the Chrome team, Google, and the companies that submit technical contributions to the company’s open-source Chromium Project, which is also utilized for several other Google projects like the Android operating system. “Google invests hundreds of millions of dollars” into Chromium, Tabriz said, but noted other companies “are not contributing now in any meaningful way.”
Over the course of several hours on Friday, Tabriz made it clear that Google being forced to sell Chrome, which is what the Justice Department has asked it to do (as well as sharing some of the data it collects to power search results), would ultimately hurt Chrome.
“I don’t think it could be recreated,” Tabriz said of Chrome’s success under Google.
Tabriz also mentioned the Chrome team is currently working to bake artificial intelligence into the browser to make it more “agentic”: in other words, Google wants Chrome to be able to automate tasks on behalf of users, from filling out forms to doing research to shopping.
