It’s deja vu all over again. After the release of Google Chrome now comes another new kid on the block (although it has been a hit already in Japan). Its tagline "The World’s Fastest Browser Ever" screams at every page footer on its website. Operating in a fashion akin to a dual-SIM phone, Lunascape aims to be the only browser you need in case the website you are visiting is designed for a specific browser only. So instead of switching back and forth with IE, Firefox, Safari or Chrome, you can have all those browsers’ rendering engine in one super-browser, and super-fast to boot.

Well, that’s the promise of Lunascape. However, for security-sensitive sites like PayPal, you can’t leave it to chances.

Eweek.com reports:

Lunascape5 lacks some of the security features found in newer browsers, such as deep SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate information and color coding and anti-phishing features. Other aspects of the browser certainly have an "alpha" feel to them, and the browser’s Japanese roots show in some of the English used in dialogs and settings menus.

For regular web surfing, Lunascape may be fine. I’ll just stick with the latest version of Firefox though.
