I see all these news on Firefox, Opera, etc.

BUT I tell you I tested them all and the best browser on earth is something else.

In Japan, we have a browser called Donut. In fact, it is a family of different versions. You have Donut Q, Donut R, Donut RAPT, etc. And I say Donut RAPT is THE BEST BROWSER ON EARTH. I just cannot imagine living without it.

I am sorry to say, though, that its website is in Japanese, though the software itself has English file. Donut browsers work on IE.

Otherwise, in Japan, we have also Slepnir and Lunascape that are not as good as Donut, but more users. Donut is rather for advanced users (too many things possible for novices). They are still better than Opera or Firefox. So, I am proud to say that Japan is the most advance country when it comes to browsers. :p

Why no links to the "Best browser on Earth?" To the english file?

Heh, the Japanese government paying you to shamelessly promote this propaganda? Or are you just very patriotic?

I have a feeling all the advanced browsers you mentioned are, quite simply, IE shells. Or Gecko based browsers.

Ummm... :no:

So basically, you created your own IE shell and now want to see if anyone else wants to use it? Create buzz?

Sorry, but IE shells are not browsers. They are just new interfaces for IE's browser engine.

Like FF is a shell on top of the gecko engine you mean? And all other browsers using the gecko engine?

Gecko browsers can have different features pertaining to the engine itself, and different ways the "shell" integrates with the engine. On the other hand, well, good luck getting into the Trident engine and making it better or work better specifically with the browser.

That doesn't count when you're a fanboy!!

Last I checked, worbd was an Opera fanboy. :huh:

friend of mine uses some chinese built browser, im not sure if he's just anti-western or is the browser actually better for his needs, he never told me which browser. But i would never switch to any chinese browser anyways if not only for the simple problem of me not liking to read the UI thats in chinese and not english. :p

Yup, except that IE shells do not need to distribute the trident engine since it's already in every window, or practically every PC not named mac. On the other hand each gecko shell has to include the gecko engine in its distribution.

Maybe another difference is that the gecko engine is open source so gecko shells can change it if they want.

not really. firefox 'is' the 'gecko browser'. and it isn't as full of holes as microshock internet exploiter.

gecko was developed by the people who made firefox. ie was developed by the people who made trident.

lame ie browser shells are using trident, which they did not develop or spend time and resources making, unlike mozilla with its gecko engine and microshaft.

It's an IE shell that runs from a directory. (no install)

Once you update it from the 62-65 release and click 'Check Update' it pops up a confirmation that says "Your Donut is already the latest."...and honestly...to me that was worth the whole 2 minutes of my life it wasted :p

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By Zeromus2003 · Posted

      I am actually looking forward to this..... I think Dark Ages was way more fun than the tedious expansions for Doom 2 (nu-doom).

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
