Seems to be blocked by Windows Defender as a Potentially Unwanted Application (PUA).<p>I guess it&#x27;s not wrong.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.virustotal.com&#x2F;gui&#x2F;file&#x2F;ec9ad4a4d6d1ddcb406d96ff0efb8c212cd91ef9fa821478d12cd06ac293c52a&#x2F;detection" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.virustotal.com&#x2F;gui&#x2F;file&#x2F;ec9ad4a4d6d1ddcb406d96ff...</a>

&gt;Its codebase is very small (about 2500 LoC currently) and could be open sourced in the next few months if the project gains enough traction and support.<p>Why not open source it from the start?

277KB is still a bit large for something that just embeds the IE webview... it reminds me of this one (original site is now gone, had to look in the archive) which is only 2.7KB(!):<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20081226192818&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kakeeware.com&#x2F;i_kb.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20081226192818&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kakeewa...</a>

Can we add &quot;for Windows&quot; to the title?

So this is just internet explorer with no back button?

Isn&#x27;t IE on track to be phased out? I guess that also means the Trident engine component will also likely not be available on future versions of Windows?

.no is not in the TLD.ini whitelist. Edit TLD.ini - Good times.

How did you turn Internet Explorer 8 into a 130kb EXE file? Why are you anonymous? Where is the source code?

Just tried it out. Was surprised that youtube and google maps both worked. Only thing I missed was tabs.

I think I would actually take dillo with an updated chrome over this: if I am to use two web browsers, I don&#x27;t necessarily need javascript on both.<p>dillo lacks a good UI for bookmarks, a browsing history (by choice, but I like those), touch support (for postmarketos&#x2F;mobile), wayland support, as well as some https quirks. Otherwise, I like it a lot.

itd be neat if microsoft opened up their web engines now that they&#x27;ve moved to blink.

The original Maxthon or TheWorld browsers worked exactly like this.

UX reminds me of WannaBe for the Mac, which was far ahead of its time on that front.

And it perfectly runs on macOS by using Wine.

Editable start page HTML ? Yes please!

I would absolutely love to have a new web browser out there. The internet needs this. Is it Windows-only? That seems slightly odd.

Windows only!
