Yohei Sato Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/404449-donut-browser/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Denis W. Veteran Posted December 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have a feeling all the advanced browsers you mentioned are, quite simply, IE shells. Or Gecko based browsers.

worbd Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 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.

Elliott Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 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: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/404449-donut-browser/#findComment-586886868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 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 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/404449-donut-browser/#findComment-586894408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc@home Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Like FF is a shell on top of the gecko engine you mean? And all other browsers using the gecko engine? 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.

d_ralphie Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Like FF is a shell on top of the gecko engine you mean? 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.

Aahz Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 (edited) http://www.atmark.gr.jp/~s2000/r/index_en.html :shiftyninja: 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 Edited December 9, 2005 by Aahz Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/404449-donut-browser/#findComment-586899650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadepixel Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Well, if it was really the best browser on earth i think that many people would be using it. Firefox is good enough.

Denis W. Veteran Posted December 14, 2005 Veteran Share Posted December 14, 2005 OK that's it. Too many browser loyalists are posting their browser of choice only because of the deceptive title.
