A lot of browser news today 
. Lunascape, a Japanese company, has released an alpha version of their browser, called Genesis. I can already hear you thinking: What do we need another browser for? Well, the unique thing about this one is that it contains all three popular render engines.
Where Internet Explorer uses Trident, Firefox uses Gecko, and Chrome & Safari using Webkit, this one uses all three. Of course not at the same time, but you can switch between engines on-the-fly. Claiming 3 times faster start-up time using the fastest javascript rendering engine in the world (as claimed on their site), this new piece of software is looking promising.
I think this might be a very good start-up and sure looks like such a project could have a bright future. Why installing and using three different programs, hogging your resources, while you can use one and have it all! Maybe this won’t become the mainstream browser for the big mass, but in the technical environment, things could really leap forward. For (web)-developers, this is surely a gift from heaven.
