It's ok to downloadyou go right ahead bob ::)
Sounds like an advert for a new brand of soap powder, WYZO removes all known stains, including the tee shirt it is on.
Built from the ground up on the Firefox core, Wyzo will make sure your experience is smart, safe, and hassle-free.
I can’t see how anything that is based on any core could possibly be called built from the ground up. This would appear to be little more than an overlay for firefox core in much the same way as Maxthon is an overlay/interface/clone for IE.
Wyzo will make sure your experience is smart, safe, and hassle-free.
Apart from the hassle of Alexa (that Bob mentioned) that is ;D

How about K-Meleon?
K-Meleon - The Browser You Control
K-Meleon is an extremely fast, customizable, lightweight web browser for the Win32 (Windows) platform based on the Gecko layout engine (the rendering engine of Mozilla). K-Meleon is free, open source software released under the GNU General Public License.
OS X version is intel only they were too lazy to make it a Universal Binary >:(
There are many other Gecko-Based browsers available this just proves that even with the right base, you still need to be vigilant:

SpaceTime has released a new 3D browser that is definitely innovative, but I don’t see it being all that useful. It boasts the 3D search, 3D eBay searching, and 3D tabbed browsing which is something your friends would definitely be impressed with, but that doesn’t mean it is very usable.
It basically creates 3D stacks of either websites or images, and displays them in a fashion similar to a cascading effect. When you do a Google search, for example, it pulls up the website for each of the first 10 results for you to shuffle through. Sounds cool, right? And don’t get me wrong, it is very cool, except for the 10 to 20 seconds where you can’t use SpaceTime because it is retrieving and rendering the sites.
You can also search eBay items or images on the Web (Yahoo! images or Flickr) which is very well done. This is more usable than the Google searching because it pulls in the actual images and displays only those, instead of pulling in the entire website.
At anytime you can put a site or image into 2D mode for more sensible browsing by double-clicking on it. Then you can always get back into the 3D mode by clicking the “Go Back” button in the upper-right corner.
So who would use something like this? For the general consumer use I think it is far from practical, but I could see something like this popping up on kiosks in stores. Just think about it, you can shop by images, and then if you see something you like you just double-click on it and it will bring up the product page. It definitely has a niche market, but I’m confident that a typical person browsing the Web would not want to use this on a regular basis
what about this one bob ;D
SpaceTime™ is a free application you can download for your PC. Although not currently available, the Mac version is coming soon.Because SpaceTime™ is a 3D application that relies on high bandwidth and powerful graphics, not all computers will run it.
You need a little muscle to run this one.
You need a little muscle to run this onei know yours does as well as both of mine but not gonna try it-3 browsers(avant,firefox and opera) and thunderbird is all i need as this point in time 8)
I tried one search and after clicking on a few items was told i was out of memory…
you think my 4000mb system memory and 256mb video memory on my quad desktop will up the turtle speed to a hare speed :
did you download it
another one for you bob ;D

Wow, Safari on Windows… Will Leopard be next ??? ;D
i’m used to it on my work mini-mac so it’s like having an apple friend on my windows machine…

No
It has the same default interface like FireFox. But it’s really interesting project. I like browser, which have only 600Kb installer :o
Why would I test for free a beta software that is not a freeware… I have already seen this movie.
No thanks. Sorry Mac, I will only do it if I receive an Apple as a gift 8)
