German article about Google’s latest browser (4)

I believe the answer is:

deer

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'browser' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'german article about google's latest' is the wordplay.
'german article' becomes 'der' (definite article in German).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'latest' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'google' is 'e'.
'der' placed around 'e' is 'DEER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deer that I've seen before include "Ruminant mammal with antlers and hooves" , "Grazing animal(s)" , "Wild animal" , "does for example" , "The males have antlers" .)
