It has features of new browser and as I say it has better performance and the application is very small (if you have less space on small disc). And it's also good for slow networks (fast download)

the advantages:
- faster
- less space on disc
- better for old PCs
- less usage of CPU (yeah, I tested it)

I'm not concerned with performance and disk size of Chrome. I'm sure majority too.
There is also trust issue if it isn't open source. Chrome is closed source but it comes from well known company so there is a bit more credibility in it than in a browser from a guy I don't know (not implying that Chrome can't be evil). And there is a question of security.

Did you use third party solutions to parse and render HTML and execute JavaScript?

that's normal that you worry about it about security, cause it's program from unknown guy (if you have played my tps, there's no malware, but in MP isn't any malware XD), now I implement certificate, so when you launch the program, there will be no pop-up saying: "Do you want to let this program to make change(s) in your system?" I forgot to add the certificate to Beta1 version. Don't worry, there's no virus, I can send you picture from my antivirus


And there is a question of security.

I use default microsoft visual basic web engine, without flash, that's more safer

No. You download a software from softonic or another bad website with adware/malware... I don't think you get a popup or a red website with a big text "Warning, many people marked this website as virus-provider". That is safe

What about blocking background-services? I don't think so with a basic vb.net browser, but well

Web of Thrust

Yes, that's what i mean and that's not included in arkady's browser... Avira Web-plugin and many others does the same job

I don't download illegall software...
I haven't virus for couple of years. Btw I have Bitdefender free edition and it blocks automatically bad pages

You didn't understand me. The browser won't warn you against malware/adware/spyware if you are on not-serious-websites. Without warning you can't trust every website, if you want to search any software/tool/whatever on download-sites

Google Chrome and Firefox doesn't warn you about dangerous websites too (Except for wrong SSL certificate). You need to install a plugin for that. And be careful about which website is safe is up to you.

I'ld love to see a light web browser. My computer became old, I don't trust in Chrome and Firefox is too slow.

I tried Globe Browser b1, my feedback :
- Interface looks ugly
- The browser engine is old (IE7)
