07 Feb, 2005 6:26 pm Sunrise Browser, new open source browser with features [sdp=52482]  

A new browser from Japanese Mac community, Sunrise Browser is now available for testing.
The browser is developed with XCode using Apple's powerful Cocoa/Objective-C.

    Features of Sunrise Browser include
  • transparent window
  • auto resizable windows
  • URL string displaying and copy command
  • page archiving
  • and more


This browser is targeted for developers, not for general audiences as the interface is rather small (providing more room for everything else). Current version is 0.677.

A quick review, this browser is not in stable stage yet. It crashes often.

It has been over a year since my last post on SunriseBrowser, SunriseBrowser is now version 0.799.

An unofficial universal binary of SunriseBrowser can be downloaded here. It also includes a fix: The SunriseBrowser useragent, by default, claims that it is using the Safari 1.2 engine, even when it's actually using the Safari 2.0 engine, AND, it always identifies the processor as "PPC". The code was fixed to get the proper version and processor.

So you downloaded the source, and compiled it?

How big is the file size?

I think you should provide that to the SunriseBrowser developer team.

If the SunriseBrowser development team is interested, they can get it here. It includes binary, source, and object files.

And is the SunriseBrowser (Universal Binary) faster than the SunriseBrowser (PowerPC) in your Intel-based iMac?

Of course, although I find SunriseBrowser to be too confusing for actual productive use.
