Triple Engine Browser Lunascape (Firefox, Internet Explorer And. Lunascape, the only browser out there that can handle all three major web rendering engines — Firefox’s Gecko, Internet Explorer’s Trident and WebKit (Safari and Chrome) – received a makeover.
The new version (released today), Lunascape 6.0 ORION, is free, in beta stage, Windows-only (Windows 7 is supported) and available in 11 languages (English, Chinese, Spanish, German, Japanese, French and others). Tokyo- and Silicon Valley-based Lunascape Corp. made its browser available to an international audience for the first time back in November 2008 (with Lunascape 5, which is the official and stable version and can be installed with 6.0 on the same PC).
The main selling point of the browser is still intact: Lunascape users can instantly switch between Firefox, IE or Safari/Chrome mode by right-clicking tabs or by clicking on the engine switcher button on the bottom left of the screen.

Three Firefox extensions were named winners of the Extend Firefox 2 awards this morning after being selected from a list of more than 100 submissions by a panel of tech celebrity judges .
The Minimap Sidebar Extension (fast mapping), SamePlace (multiclient browser IM) and Shareaholic (multi tool bookmark submitter) were the award winners and 12 runners up were named as well. Though basing a business on a browser extension might seem crazy, for the select few companies highlighted in Mozilla events like this it can lead to a big increase in user numbers, especially if support from Mozilla continues. Judges for the contest included Garrett Camp from StumbleUpon, Brendan Eich from Mozilla, Jesse James Garrett of Adaptive Path, Tariq Karim from NetVibes and Joshua Schachter, founder of Del.icio.us. It's a group that knows a cool browser tool when they see one.
