Google buys stake in Maxthon Browser

When we hear the word Google most people thing of the most used search engine on the internet, but now you can also relate Google to a web browser, or part of it to be exact.
Google has just bought a minority stake in the Maxthon Browser, at a presumably price of about 1 million dollars.

The Maxthon Browser is free to download and have been downloaded more then 80 million times, and about 25 % of all downloads is from China, which is also the main reason of why Google has bought stakes in this Browser, because this will increase Google’s position in China.

Google has indicated that they may integrate Google functions into Maxthon browser which would be a good strategy against competing search engines.
