That looks like an interesting browser. I'll have to try this sometime. Does it work on Wine?

Yeah it does look cool... How can they claim to be the fastest browser when they are just using other web browsing engines?
I'd get confused with having different browser engines...

a browser is powered by a rendering engine, a rendering engine is what tells the browser how to layout a page and how to lay that page out
trident is used in IE
gecko is used by firefox, mozilla, flock and numerous others
webkit is used by safari, google chrome
that is by no means a comprehensive list but well that will give you the idea....

Remember back like half a year ago, when I tried making something like this, but Webkit and Mozilla's respective ActiveX controls didn't work  The site's full of lies. "World's Fastest Browser" and "World's first Hybrid browser" are completely false. Netscape was a hybrid browser, and it can be anywhere from slow (IE) to fast (WebKit) Also, doesn't it mean loading 3 rendering engines to memory? HUGE ram usage. Edit: I'm quite impressed, but it's quite funny actually. the "Cool" theme, is a Mac-Safari clone. The rendering engine that was apparently what got "Fastest" was Gecko. And it's slow anyway EDIT I can't reproduce their results: ** TOTAL **: 69.9x as fast 117987.6ms +/- 38.8% 1688.6ms +/- 4.6% significant Chrome is 70x faster than the "fast" rendering engine for Lunascape? On the same benchmark: SunSpider |

Safari/Webkit is using 180,132 K just for these forums on Windows right now... It takes forever to boot up on my computer and I just watch the memory go up and up... |

well it probably only loads them to memory when you want to use that mode, I'm not sure how this browser operates, but if it loaded all 3 on startup it'd probably fit in well on vista....

Hm... I think you should have only the most popular browsers going in your ticker; otherwise you risk diluting the value of your service  |

Yeah, I also searched my database of 200k agents and out of that, only 2 had Lunascape I kinda like this browser, sort of... Good for developing so you can switch back and forth  |
