its no more than a IE shell with a news reader and gnutella shoved in
and this made me laugh from the bbc thing they linked to

RE: New Internet Browser! by Millenium_edition on 10-02-2005 at 01:01 PM
and why would it be better? because it has a p2p client? HAHA!
RE: New Internet Browser! by linx05 on 10-02-2005 at 02:03 PM
It isn't new. Read the change log and you can see it has been around for a little while.
I think the main reason they say it's a lot more secure is because it stops phishing. It updates websites, the engine etc every time you browse.
I've had a go at it and it's alright. I'll just stick to the browser I have now 
RE: New Internet Browser! by user27089 on 10-02-2005 at 02:04 PM
I am going to check it out now, even if it isn't new, I have never heard of it in my life!
I seriously doubt if it is any better than firefox, it just looks like a small company trying to beat the "big" companies.
Okay, I have used the browser and I can quite honestly say that it is rubbish, it isn't user-friendly at all, and the news feed sucks. I can't even believe that they have a p2p client inbedded into it either, how illegal can you get?!
RE: New Internet Browser! by linx05 on 10-02-2005 at 02:14 PM
On the topic of new browsers, here is one you guys might like. It is based on the Mozilla Engine. Made by Anderson (Avant Browser) it puts a lot of Avant features into use while using the Mozilla engine. Which is great because that is one of a few things FireFox needs improvement in, more features!
It's an alpha release so be careful with it.
Dr Orca 1.0 Alpha

That is cool, I might download that and try it out, if it is as good as firefox, then I might use it.

I won't lie, I do use P2P Clients, but having one inbedded into a browser to try and make people download it is just lame, if they won't to be a good browser, they should just stay legit!
RE: New Internet Browser! by Val on 10-02-2005 at 02:17 PM
yeah man that so soo doggy, next thing you know people will be doqnloading pirated vertions of windows with the IE browser, its lame if you want p2p with lime wire i dont use p2p, torrent 4ever

RE: New Internet Browser! by evil_panda on 10-02-2005 at 02:32 PM
Its really hard to use and is basicly IE but with a few pointless extras thrown in. It basicly sucks.
I will never change from firefox.
RE: New Internet Browser! by user27089 on 10-02-2005 at 02:34 PM
I tried out the Firefox/Avant browser, and I didn't really like it, so I'll be sticking to firefox. To be honest, I haven't yet found a substitute for firefox, as firefox is so simple and has a nice user interface, it is all I need really...
I just wish it had RSS Feeds .
RE: New Internet Browser! by Jimcando on 10-02-2005 at 02:36 PM
The only thing that loks good on this browser is grouped tabs. Oh how that is so good 
Can FireFox do that?
EDIT: Actually, this sucks. Though it is better than IE

Something more powerful really, I don't like using Desktop Widgets or anything to do the job... Going onto Google.com/ig to check out my favourite feeds is just annoying aswell.

Insted of giving a browser lots of publicity because it has "a powerful anti-phishing feature" the press should remind people of the long lost thing called common sense, which also happens to be the best anti phishing feature you can have. I hate the way that products are going, they are just providing things that wouldnt be needed if you provided some simple education about the internet.[/rant]
Im happly going to stick to firefox and my common sense

Anyway, this browser is only going to be downloaded by less computer literate users who like all the new P2Ps and jazzy stuff. I mean the browser is supposed to be resistent to exploits and phising but at the same time it bundles a P2P, and P2Ps are quite easy to find exploits in...the only reason this browser can claim to be secure is because it's so unwidely used that no one is going to spend time trying to find exploits.
RE: New Internet Browser! by Val on 10-02-2005 at 04:49 PM
oh well as most of you siad you cant beat firefox, look at all the customizable feature and user infrance, IE anit that good and its slow too
RE: New Internet Browser! by :No-Frost: on 10-02-2005 at 05:01 PM
Mmm I don't like IE and Firefox ^^... haven't seen this browser yet...
But I use Opera instead xD... so I don't think I'm gonna change it...

Firefox can group tabs yes.

It can't be that illegal. As it was In the Pc Advisor!

Firefox can do anything, its just a program that uses gecko to display xul applications.

RE: New Internet Browser! by ~INVASION~ on 10-02-2005 at 07:38 PM
will continue with my firefox, took me so long to get it how i like it, im a proud firefox user and dont intend on changing
RE: New Internet Browser! by rav0 on 10-03-2005 at 02:45 AM
It might be old but it's new to me. I wouldn't have heard of it if it wasn't for this thread.
I just had a look at the Deepnet Explorer Quick Tour and it looks pretty cool.
* rav0 downloads Deepnet Explorer
You can see the cheapliness though, stolen KDE icons, stolen Microsoft icons. There has been a lot of work put into the actual browser though, from the look of it.
It features the wonderful mouse gestures! I miss them so much from Opera whenever I use Internet Explorer fo Firefox.
This looks really good, though I dont think it will be my most used over Opera, it might become a second choice.
Since this uses Internet Explorer, will Windows Update work in it?

I like to be able to have pretty much everything I want in the one browser. Then, if I need anything else, I can get a plugin for that. That is the reason why I like this Dr Orca browser (except for the plugin bit
). Hopefully the Gecko engine support will improve in Maxthon (my main browser).
