New Open Source Browser: Shiira
Anyone else tried Shiira?
It's a WebKit-based, open source browser. I don't know if it is a serious contender or if it's just a demonstration of how easy it is to write a basic browser in Cocoa with WebKit.
If anyone who reads Japanese can shed some more light on the matter then that would be cool.
(Talking of alternative browsers Bumpercar looks very cool for those of you with kids.)

It feels a lot like a Camino for WebKit...
The tab bar is great, draggable and all.
Viva the browser wars!

I like it. Hopefully PithHelmet or similar will work with it soon ... or I'll have to install AdBlocker here.

Yeah! Thus far, thats the only thing I miss about Safari+Pith. Ad blocking! I'll try contacting the maker of Pith and see what happens.
um, yeah, it's a nice zippy browser, very neat.

Since it's open source, you're much more likely to find that feature built in.
I like the draggable tabs! That is something I have been wanting in Safari since they put tabs in there.

I think the icons need a little work
Did you notice that in the nightly builds there is a system to change the icons to different sets? They had a competition to design different ones.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn't even notice that.

yes, the next release should support anything using webkit, more or less. the developers might have to write a tiny plugin (or i can hack them just like i did with Safari).

Or you could use the link for the English version.

Not a clue. Check out his site for a blog he keeps on development. I'd direct link it but his site is notorious for being down.
Much thanks!

Ok, I see that it's a flakey site, missed the posts that said that, what I get for carooosing through the topic, instead of delving into it all..
