In one new front of experimentation, browser company Maxthon Ltd. will next month offer users the ability to sync downloads and local files across devices via its browser, in potential competition with file-sharing services like Dropbox Inc. Consumers will be able to download or send the data to a cloud storage account or other device running the browser from a drop-down menu within the browser.

The company offers browsers for desktops, mobile phones, tablets and even in-car systems. Earlier this year, Maxthon announced a deal with Pioneer Electronics to enable users to browse the Web from an in-car touch-screen device.这个鲜为人知的软件目的符合消费者从多种设备上提供个人文件的市场需求。

AAPL +0.39% Microsofts Internet Explorer remains the market-share leader for desktop browsers, according to Net Applications, with a 56% share of the desktop market globally. Apples Safari browser leads on mobile phones and tablets, with 59% share, thanks to the popularity of the iPhone and iPad.浏览器行业最近几年从表面上看或许没什么变化，市场主要由微软公司(Microsoft Corp.)、谷歌和苹果(Apple Inc.)等科技巨头占有。

It will be more lively, quick and fun, he says.浏览器开发商Mozilla Corp.首席营运宽沙利文(Jay Sullivan)说道，由于经常出现了各种使人们可以与朋友共享网页内容的非常简单新方法，网络网页将显得社交性更加强劲。

他说道，它将显得更为活跃、很快、有意思。Mozillas Firefox browser has rolled out new features, such as the ability to integrate with social-networking sites so users can see updates and messages from Facebook Inc.

For instance, consumers could open up a chat screen within their browser and drag a video from a Web page into the screen to share immediately. Mozilla is also trying to persuade websites to adopt a new identity system called Persona that aims to eliminate passwords.

它使用户可以用现有的账户和密码登岸网站。Past attempts to spiff up browsers havent always taken off. Onetime Web-browser startup Rockmelt, which once trumpeted its integration with Facebook, says its desktop browser had 4.5 million users but will be discontinued in the next few months. It has changed course to become a discovery service for finding interesting Web content.以往浏览器方面的创意尝试并不总能取得成功。曾多次的浏览器初创公司Rockmelt曾声称可以构建与Facebook的一体化。

该公司说道，它的桌面浏览器曾有450万用户，但未来几个月将暂停运营。它早已转变业务类型，转而获取协助挖出有意思网络内容的服务。

Tim Howes, Rockmelt co-founder and chief technology officer, said in a statement that browsers today are just big dumb windows in [consumers] way.Rockmelt牵头创始人、首席技术宽豪斯(Tim Howes)在一份声明中说道，今天的浏览器在消费者显然只是可笑的大窗口。Some new browser features, like file-sharing, aim to replicate functions or Web services that are already easy to access across multiple devices through services like Google Drive or Dropbox.共享文件等一些新的浏览器功能目的拷贝现有那些可精彩构建横跨设备用于的功能或网络服务。这些功能或服务目前可通过Google Drive或Dropbox等服务构建。Mr. Mattson of Maxthon says integrated features are more convenient for users. He likens some of the stand-alone services to using a five-pound hammer to kill a mosquito when something simpler within the browser will do.傲游的马特森说道，一体化的功能对用户来说更加便利。

他将一些分开的服务比起到高射炮打蚊子，而实质上用浏览器内一些更为非常简单的功能就能构建。
