    it may be a browser for niche OS as they are listed on their page, since 2002. but in fact its only a foot notice. you may praise it, but at least its very far away from anything which has to do with current needed technology for browsing.
    for the record, installed it in sandboxie, but its first view pushed me back to windows 98/2000 with its mockup, in any way. its not only far away from current state, its ugly.
    for you it may not concern as you have set up your windows with such design as i saw theses days. most of users think a bit different ;)

    I understand what you mean, but this does indeed seems to be a pretty much useless browser, it's way too bare bones. But cool if it could at least render websites correctly without the need of Blink or Gecko or WebView2, which are the most uses browser engines.
