Lunascape is a web browser developed by Lunascape Corporation in Tokyo, Japan. It is unique in that it contains three rendering engines: Gecko (used in Mozilla Firefox), WebKit (used in Apple Safari and Google Chrome), and Trident (used in Microsoft Internet Explorer).[2][3] The user can switch between layout engines seamlessly.

[edit] History

Lunascape browser was originally published in October 2001 while the founders were still in college. As the browser became popular, Hidekazu Kondo established Lunascape Corporation in August 2004 while pursuing a PhD and became the CEO. Lunascape was selected as "Exploratory Software Project" commissioned by Japanese government.[4]

It branched out to the United States in June 2008 and is currently based in Sunnyvale, California.[5][6][7]

Lunascape internationally introduced its browser in December 2008.
