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

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By JayZJay · Posted

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
