You want to check the speed of your Internet connection? Go to Google, enter "speed test" and run speedtest.net or one of the other pages, found through a search engine. So it works today. Microsoft wants, but, eliminate these last steps, at least, for Bing users.
Editorial Windows Central noted, that the technology giant is experimenting with a new tool called "Speed Test". This widget is run inside the browser, which - according to its name - it allows you to check the speed of your Internet connection.
"We are still testing new tools and features in Bing, and one of them is the speed test " , - said a Microsoft spokesman in an interview with VentureBeat. I did not betray, but, no details about the full availability of this tool. – "We now have nothing more to say on the topic".
As well, like other Speed Test utility allows the user to measure the speed of loading and data transmission and ping, and also check the IP-address. The only trouble is, that access to the entire information we get using the same search engine.
Providing information directly in search results is nothing new - Bing uses this option for a long time, and Google has mastered it almost to perfection. Difference, but, It is, the tool to check a little more complicated than a calculator or currency converter.
This is another step, Microsoft shows that, that there should be a failure in the search market. Although Google is still in many areas superior to Bing, also has several second elements, in which the opponent wins. it, by the way, the ability to search using emoji.
Probably, Few dare to switch from Google to Bing because, that Microsoft will release the Speed Test (or, and a number of other functions). Giant does not intend to, but, give up and constantly overstate the bar. It is very good, because if there's need strong competition, so it is in the Internet search engine sector.
