Company Mail.Ru Group announced the termination of development and promotion of its own browser, Amigo. The developers admitted when it is the promotion of mistakes and resigned to the fact that “his reputation is not restored”.
As noted in the official report, with the promotion of browser “Amigo” was made a number of missteps. To promote the participation of partners and ad networks, some of which was unfair — for the distribution of browser they use gray schemes, contrary to the rules specified in the contract. Such actions caused a negative attitude to the product. In this regard Mail.Ru Group decided to abandon further development of the brand “Amigo”.
End of support will not affect existing versions of “Amigo”: users will be able to use the browser further.
However, Mail.Ru Group does not exclude the continuation of its work in the niche market of browsers, but is going to consider his mistakes in the future. Note that the company has already developed an experimental browser Go! which is still under testing.
