So far a very good first impression.

We may have very different standards. I can not see that it is much more advanced than one I made myself 10 years ago with Borland C++ Builder. If that minimalistic browser was not fast, I would definitely question the programmers that made it.

Why not buy that book and build one yourself in C++ Builder? Fairly easy to build a minimalistic fast browser. Security is the real problem.

I don't think so. Aside from a few products, Microsoft have given the world exellent software like Windows XP, Windows Media Player, MSN Messenger, Office, SQL Server etc.
A fast question:
My Norwegian version shuts down when I close all folders. Is that a natural way to close a browser?
I would definitely not buy online with that browser
