As a quick reminder, the search engine giant launched Google Earth for web users two years ago. The service was accessible only to Chrome users at that time. The company did not do any notable efforts to extend the service for other browsers up until recently. Later on, Google decided to use WebAssembly to redesign Google Earth for web. We saw a glimpse of the new version at Chrome Dev Summit 2017. It was an early release and nothing was polished at that time. Google never advertised any release date for the new version until now.

Confused with the word Chromium, people assumed that the new Edge browser will support the service. But they were surprised to see that the reality was different and they could not use Google Earth on the new browser. Google realized it was high time to release Google Earth for all the other major browsers out there. The company announced the release on its Chromium blog. Google promised to improve Google Earth’s performance with new WebAssembly tools. The company sees WebAssembly as an opportunity to run applications across different browsers.
