Interesting development... Too early to say how it will look in the end.
Best wishes,
Hans

Nothing like a name-change to drum up user interest again I suppose... http://www.w3counter.com/trends" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It will have to be very good to lure me away from Chrome. On second thought, if the name of the new browser is "cool :cool: ", I might opt for it too. :grin:

So - what would be a 'cool' name for the new browser? The working title "Spartan" doesn't cut it. Perhaps "Fishnet"? Or "Ruby"? :grin:
Best wishes,

The name "Fishnet" is actually quite nifty. One does "fish" for info and the info is in on the "net".
"Ruby" would most definitely be a cool name without having to say much more about that!
Others could include; "Curiosity", "Info Drone", "Wine Cellar", "Mars Gas", "Feathered Fossil" (though it might be confused with Fire Fox), "Octobasse", "Tjipetir", "Tetris" or "Sinkhole". Now these would be VERY cool!!

"Sinkhole" sounds interesting, as web browsing is often a time sink.
