Dr. Orca - Gecko based Browser (currently an Alpha version)

[Romain Petges]

Hi all,

I don't know if this was already mentioned in acf, but I found this link
today and I think it's really worth sharing.

Dr. Orca has been developed by the Maxthon author and this Gecko based
browser has nearly the same GUI as Maxthon, but the rendering speed of
Gecko. It identifies itself as Firebox 1.0.6 ... as mentioned in the subject
IT'S AN ALPHA VERSION !

Now this looks quite promising. How is the plugin support?

It's actually being developed by Anderson Che (author of Avant Browser) and
not by the author of Maxthon.

To my knowledge, it does not currently have XPI plugin support (bear in
mind, it's only an Alpha, chances are, if it is to have this, it will likely
be unsupported until it reaches atleast the Beta stages).

Good-oh; there's a chap who can design a browser I really like...

I've had a go at it, and it looks really promising, however I took up the
opera offer, and I love having a combined browser and email (once you get
used to it)

But I wish I could get rid of the tray icon.
