Corona Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Minefield. Quite a put-offish kinda name for a new browser engine, eh? Why not just call it Asplode. At least that has some cool Strongbad reference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Well calling it Minefield does make sense. You never know when a bug is going to explode and screw up your browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chOKE Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 It's not very good compared to other browsers that are in BETA or ALPHA. If you are looking for speed and security. Try out Opera 10.00 Alpha or Google Chrome 2.0. They are FAST and sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icedrake Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm already using Opera 10 Alpha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
