eva Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 (edited) it's very small,only 403k.though it uses IE engine, but it takes very little memory and cpu . and of course it is very fast ! i have used FF for a long time until i met The World. beacuse FF uses so many memories, i switched to TW. And it is made in China. :) wouldn't u want to have a try ?

Quactaur Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Considering its so damn small it's pretty good, though it still uses IE. It's basically a tabbed version of IE, but its missing some features (like middle clicking to open links in new tabs, i absolutely must have that :p ) One very usefull feature (for chinese users i guess) is the proxy manager built into it. You can load lists of proxy servers and switch between them at will.

Barney T. Administrators Posted May 7, 2006 Administrators Share Posted May 7, 2006 When I go to the link, it says that the "web page is undering (sic) construction"... but let's you download an .exe file. I don't know about you guys, but I would not download and install something that I know nothing about....... Maybe after a few BRAVE souls want to venture here....... :no: Barney Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/458798-have-you-ever-tried-the-world-browser/#findComment-587483370 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted May 7, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted May 7, 2006 Installing now. ill let you know what its like ina min -Vamp *EDIT* Well i don't really like the look of it, the buttons are too small and squashed. But you can download skins for it which isnt bad (though there arnt may skins for it out there) It was actually slower than either IE7 or FF 1.5 for me, that could jst be me, but anyway, all in all its nothing special imo, just another browser out there.

dragon2611 Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 you know almost anyone can make a browser based on the IE engine. heck i even had a go at it, it was very very basic but it worked. (see screenshot) if anyone wanted to try it go download visualbasic 2005 express edition from the microsoft site. the reason these browsers are so small is becuase all they do is pass the URL to internet explorers rendering engine all there is to the "browser" is the UI Infact all you need to make a "browser" is a text box the web compenent option and maybe a go button. Private Sub CmdGO_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CmdGO.Click Web1.Navigate(TxtAddress.Text) End Sub obvisouly it would be slighly different to that depending on what you named the web control and the text box and hte command button.

Quactaur Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 @Dragon: Yeah, but yours is little more than a shell that calls IE. The world isn't that bad, if you're stuffed for resources then its a pretty good choice. It has an adblock system, proxies (as i mentioned above, usefull when you're behind the great firewall) and rudimentary tabbed browsing. It's not a virus, give it a try and see for yourselves.

primexx Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Yet another IE shell...I was actually hoping for another engine for a change....oh well... And somehow I just dont like this whole "it's made in China so it must be the best" attitude a lot of Chinese people carry. If it's of good quality people will use it, otherwise you cant hide the fact that it sucks. It's a browser (in this case, a shell) for crying out loud, who cares which country the geek who coded it is from?!?!

abc@home Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 If maxthon or avant don't serve you well, you probably don't need to explore further ie shells.

Japlabot Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I found it pretty decent, the best IE shell that I have ever used. It's not the same as other IE shells that all seem to be based on the same template and crammed full of useless crap. The writer's English skills need a bit of work though. And it's not enough to move me from Firefox either.

Japlabot Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I've been using TheWorld on and off since my last post. Yesterday, I got an email/phone call from eBay to say that they think my account has been hacked through my email account. I have been scratching my head over this, and how it could of happened. And today it just occured to me that it must be TheWorld because I did access my Gmail through this browser. I can't verify if this browser is sending usernames/passwords back to home base because I don't know how to test this, but I strangely suspect so.

Though I don't use TheWorld regularly, I doubt it would do anything like that. AFAIK it is one of the more popular and reputable browsers in China afterall. As for the email/phone call from eBay, I tend to believe that it's coincident. Also beware of the possibility of phishing calls.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted May 27, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 27, 2006 ... 4. Web edit mode In this mode , any text can be selected~~. ... :blink: How is selecting text a edit mode? Like, i have a bookmarklet that enables design mode for every element on the current page, so i can basically change anything, IE and Firefox can do the same thing, but how is selecting text a edit mode?
