    Wow IMDB, you're on fire, are you the new Mood? :p

    But this Tesla browser looks quite fishy! Did you try it, never heard of it before and I also couldn't find any reviews. Wait a minute, I just found it on Softpedia. But I would personally stay away from these little known browsers.

    Well, I can't find hardly anything about it online. I switched to Google search even and all that came up were two guides on how to remove this cuz it's labeled a PUP due to "intrusive ads". I looked up its reported parent company Media Fog Ltd and....voila! Nothing.

    Hmm :cautious: Mysterious.

    lol!

    I used an open-source notepad once. It was famous for its speed. I discovered it could execute an infinite loop in only six seconds.

    ROSTPAY the company that publishes this has been around for quite some time. Some of their other software includes Carambis Driver Updater which was first released in 2009 and DriverHub. Their browser appears to be very similar to Chrome itself and I see no reason to use it instead of Chrome.
    How so? I usually do my best to avoid portable software.

    Exactly my point, this company seems way too shady, bets to stay away from this stuff. Also, the chosen ''Tesla'' name should already be a clue.

    Tesla ... a purely coincidental resemblance? It was probably meant to evoke a sense of confidence. What a shame!
