Those pursuing domestic technology innovations must not cut corners

It is shocking that the Redcore browser, which its "developers" boasted as being the first domestically produced browser with self-developed core technology, was exposed on Thursday as being one based on Google Chrome.

AllMobilize, the company behind the product, called the software China's first web browser using fully self-developed intellectual property when it announced on Wednesday that in its latest funding round it had secured a further 250 million yuan ($36.3 million) from venture capital investors.

However, users looking through the browser's installation directory had discovered a file named "chrome.exe" along with files containing the Chrome logo. After the revelations, the download installer for Redcore was removed from the company's website.
