Google Earth is now also available on Edge, Firefox and Opera

Google Earth, the most popular app that lets you view 3D images from anywhere in the world thanks to satellite photos, is now available on Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera. Until recently, it only worked on Google's Chrome browser.

The reason this was not done before, according to Google, is the fact that Google Earth for Chrome was built using Native Client (NaCl), a Chrome-only solution. After months of beta availability, the new Google Earth, built with WebAssembly, now runs on other browsers. WebAssembly is a standard that allows applications made in C / C ++ / Rust and similar languages ​​to be accessible as web applications and run on a variety of browsers.

Google Earth has been available as a web application since April 2017. The reason it was built with NaCl is simple - a few years ago, it was the only way for Google to make sure it worked properly. However, things have changed, so WebAssembly is taking the lead as a standard for such purposes.

Despite the fact that the six-month beta ended a few days ago, Google Earth is far from perfect on other search engines. There are still things to be sorted out, and one of the biggest is the fact that the app is not yet available on Safari, a browser that is quite popular with macOS users.


There is no doubt that there is not much love between Google and Microsoft when it comes to "pushing" users towards their search engines - if you open the Google page through Microsoft Edge, you will get a window that says go to Google Chrome. If you access the Google Docs file, you will receive a notification that you need Google Chrome to use the same offline. Despite all this, the fact that Google still strives to make bar service available to other search engines is quite positive for the company.

Elon Musk again promises private space flights

Elon Musk's SpaceX company has signed an agreement with a space tourism agency to organize a trip into Earth's orbit for several adventurous travelers. Space Adventures, an agency that has organized eight tours to the International Space Station from 2001 to 2009, plans to organize a four-passenger flight on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. The journey would be completed by the end of 2021, according to a Space Adventures statement released yesterday. Passengers will spend a maximum of five days orbiting the Earth, stranded in a 3.96-meter-long spacecraft. The flight path predicts that private space tourists will fly two to three times the altitude of the orbit of the International Space Station, says Eric Anderson, president of Space Adventures. It will be the furthest distance from Earth anyone has found in decades, meaning that passengers on this flight will have a sight similar to what astronauts saw on NASA's Gemini 11 mission in 1966, Anderson said on Tw...
