As the name itself suggests, Lunascape is definitely a futuristic browser that is not just unique but is absolutely feature rich too. The reason I am calling it futuristic is that it provides you with all the three popular browser engines (namely Gecko, Webkit, and Trident) in a single browser interface. Well, these engines are the cores that power our popular browsers like IE, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
Let us first see who is using what —
- Webkit: Google Chrome, Safari
- Trident: IE
- Gecko: Firefox
Lunascape = IE (Trident)＋Firefox (Gecko)＋Chrome, Safari (Webkit).Though some of Firefox & probably Chrome users can switch (using third-party add-ons) the rendering engine to IE from within the respective browser, Lunascape allows the user to perform the same task effortlessly and quite gracefully. All you need to do is have all the rendering engines installed with Lunascape.
Apart from the three engines, it also lets you use their add-ons and plugins that work seamlessly as they do in their respective browsers. Therefore, migration from Firefox would not be a tall order as you would be able to enjoy the same add-ons in Lunascape too by letting you import the add-ons with a single click. That's not all. There are some other great features which has made this browser my current hot favorite —
- Faster JavaScript rendering
- Speedier launch
- Clean, futuristic & manageable interface
- Supports mouse gestures
- Crash prevention
- Skinnable UI
- Built-in RSS support
- Easy import/export of favorites & other settings
