KingSoft To Release a Dual-Core Browser, Promises Three Times Faster Than Chrome

KingSoft, one of the most famous software companies which developed KingSoft Office (replacement of MS Office), PowerWord (dictionary) and Kingsoft Antivirus etc, is testing its own web browser, named Liebao (meaningCheetah).

We are still waiting for the invitation code to test it out. But according to its newly launched official site, this dual-core (built on webkit and IE core) browser is promised to be more safe, better designed (UI designed by Rigo) and 3 times faster than Chrome.

KingSoft is expert on Antivirus technology which is somehow integrated into the core of Liebao Browser. KingSoft called this invention as BIPS (Browser Intrusion Prevention System). In other words, even with no antivirus software running on your system, the browser itself still has the capabilities of e.g. Anti-Phishing, Anti-Trojan and code-injection-proof etc.

The site also says that some parts of webkit core has been rewritten/improved which makes Liebao three times faster than Chrome.

So why KingSoft wants a browser? An easy answer,I guess, would be, to fight against its long-time enemy, 360 which always claims its own 360 Browser the most safe one in the world.

We will get back to you soon once we try it out.

    China Watch: Magical New Maglev, Fire the Ambassador?

    A list of what the Wall Street Journal’s reporters in China are reading and watching online, periodically updated throughout the day. (NOTE: WSJ has not verified items in the ‘News’ section and does not vouch for their accuracy.) Last updated: 7:22 pm Beijing time. NEWS: Chinese scientists at Southwest Jiaotong University have developed a model maglev train that runs in a vacuum tube and can travel as fast as an airplane, the Global Times reports . Whether it will ever be put to use is another question, with one expert quoted in the story calling the train “complete scientific fantasy.” The first of two planes sent to retrieve up 480 Chinese nationals stranded in Egypt has landed in Beijing, Xinhua reports . Meanwhile, Hainan Airlines today dispatched another plane to pick up some of the 300 or so who remain in Egypt. It’s not clear from the reports if all of them will fit on the third plane.

    Out of all the Chinese Pinterests we mentioned earlier , Huaban (, or petals) is decidedly the one that stands out from the crowd to receive US$ more than one million in Series A round of funding from KPCB, less than ten days after the website went online. The Hangzhou-based service was crafted by the startup behind Yupoo , one of the earliest and best Flickr-clone in China founded about 7 years ago.
