Cốc Cốc browser (previously Cờ Rôm+) is a freeware web browser focused on the Vietnamese market, developed by Vietnamese company Cốc Cốc and based on Chromium open source code,[1] which is the same platform used by Google Chrome, Opera, and Comodo Dragon. Cốc Cốc is available for the Windows and OSX operating systems[2][3] and supports both English and Vietnamese.[4]

Overview

Cốc Cốc is among the five most popular browsers in Vietnam, according to data from StatCounter.[5] A majority of the features found in Cốc Cốc, as well as its quality and stability, are similar to Google Chrome's.[6] Significantly, Cốc Cốc also contains functionality that is useful to Vietnamese users:[7] automatic typing aid, faster downloads, ability to bypass DNS blocking and to download audio and video from popular sites, and integrated English-Vietnamese dictionary and spell-checking.[2][8] According to Vn Review, a software technical review website, these tailored features add more value that put Cốc Cốc on the map and differentiate Cốc Cốc from other Chromium-based browsers.[9]

History

The first version of the browser was presented under the brandname Cờ Rôm+ on 4 December 2012.[10] At that time, the interface of Cốc Cốc was similar to that of Google Chrome, but the browser had already integrated two features: the ability to download files to multiple streams and storage of media content[10]

The browser was officially submitted five months later 14 May 2013.[1] with two new features introduced: automatic typing aid and bypassing DNS blocking. To date, the developer group has published 6 additional features.

Two months after official release, the number of Cốc Cốc users surpassed Opera[11] and later outperformed Safari and Internet Explorer.[12]

On 2 April 2014, Cờ Rôm+ was officially re-branded as the Cốc Cốc browser, with a new browser icon design released, to unify the company's brands under the that name: Cốc Cốc Search Engine, Cốc Cốc browser and Nhà Nhà mobile app.[13]
