Interesting, but I have not anything about this which makes me wonder, I would be careful, tbh I am happy with FF 3.5.2 as of this time, I would not want IE engine mixed into any browser I was using.

No, I'm not that daft! ;)  Just wondered what the 'brains' thought of the idea of a 'triple' browser :dunno:

Perhaps I am daft after all, running Lunascape on other desktop and selected the 'webkit' version. So far, :fingers:  looks sharp, feels sharp and runs very briskly indeed :fingers: We shall see :dunno:

If you haven't done so already, try Lunascape5 in the 'Gecko' (FF) mode. Let us know your thoughts. I have found it extremely fast so far ;)

It sounds good Q, but I am with browsers a bit like I am with HiFi, I prefer separates, I would rather have individual components than an all in one if that makes sense, is the luna skin fixed as being all space like still?

I am well aware that these things can fizzle out, but this one looks that it has got it right (for the time being) I know you are definitely not a 'stick in the mud' so, why not give it a go?

If all goes wrong then just 'roll back' to 'yesterday'. It really is worth a look at ;) There are four choices of skin, you can select a basic skin if required. So far working OK for me :fingers:
