It's not exactly "new" but it does seem to be a relatively uncommonly used browser. I've never used it, but I recall seeing a review a few months ago on G4 TechTV's "Call for Help" show. It looked really neat.

It uses Firefox as it's base. I found it slower than the 'Fox so I removed it.

And please don't shout.

ya its slow beacuse it needs a broabband connection atleast..
thats the problem


?????????????????????

it looks exactly like firefox almost

its based on firefox 1.5 (infact last time i used it it teh help/about was still the firefox one...

and teh slawness thing is the program responsivenes not teh web speed, it takes longer to load than Firefox


also typing in block capiutals is considered SHOUTING!

Is it possible to load longer than firefox? You must be kidding!!

sure thing
open office!!!

anyway firefox loads in less than 2 seconds on my box

OO.o takes 5-10
not got flock at the moment

Has anyone bothered to look at any of the OP's other posts? This guy is a forum spammer. I don't care what his agenda is - I don't like spam! If any of you went and downloaded [insert spammer's software here] and tried it because of this thread - shame on you. You've been had.

Yes, before answering I checked his other posts. And it's not that clear to me. He's promoting wengo, amsn, perl converter.

Looks a little mac-a-like to me (round curves and all), and very unclear (confusing outlook). The browser I mean. Something I wouldn't even think of using..in my opinion a browser needs to have a large content area, a place to control the site being viewed (usually address bar) and possibly some buttons to control the thing (mainly just forward/backward/stop/home), but all the controls should take as little space of the user interface as possible, and most controls can simply be used trough shortcuts/keys like alt+left/right, so I wouldn't mind having them hidden as well.

The browser that comes along Sony's PSP has some nice features. Of course it's difficult to use on a device without real keyboard, but they've understood one thing: by default the browser's content area fills the whole screen. If the user wants the address bar or some buttons visible, it's done by pressing a button (triangle in this case). When the address is typed, for example, a hit of that button again and the unneeded controls are hidden again. Nowadays browsers do have that "fullscreen" functionality, but when using it the desktop panel etc. are covered also, which makes using the rest of the desktop more difficult. Instead of that fullscreen functionality, or maybe in addition to it, the browsers should have a simple shortcut to hide all controls from the window and only display the content in addition to the window borders - maximize the experience, not browser maker fingerprints (fancy browser logos, themes, shades, ...)

Firefox is slow as hell, and so are all the rest. Actually only links and lynx seem to be quick enough for real use; their problem is just that they don't sit too nicely on grahpical desktops or don't work for all websites' contents. Browser makers should start worrying about the program runtime speed (not talking about connection speed here, but launch speed and so on) and not just the fine outlooks.

p.s. "web 2.0" is hoax if you ask me. The same kind of hype that digitalized television broadcasts were; a lot of empty promises, a lot of great visions and wishes, and a lot of stuff that doesn't work right. Web used to be a lot more usable in the past when Macromedia hadn't yet raped it, and unfortunately it seems the road continues all the way down..
