Everything old is new again it seems. Anyone used Maxthon Browser before? It was multiengine browser, which used both Webkit and Trident under the hood. It has that feature for ages, just for flash content back than.

If only someone would built good email client into Browser like old Opera, that would be godsend. Opera and Maxthon were ages ahead in terms of certain features.

It is little weird for me, they ended up putting video within shadow DOM container.

Wow that’s a blast from the past! I also used... damn I can’t remember. It used Gecko as its engine, implemented mouse gestures for navigation among other nice features Firefox didn’t have at the time.
