Lunascape is a web browser developed by Lunascape Corporation in Tokyo, Japan. It is unusual in that it contains three rendering engines: Gecko (used in Mozilla Firefox), WebKit (used in Apple's Safari), and Trident (used in Microsoft Internet Explorer).[3][4] This feature is common only to the Avant web browser. The user can switch between layout engines seamlessly.

Lunascape is available for Windows and Android platforms, as well as for iPad and iPhone.

History

Lunascape was released in October 2001 while the founders were 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.[5]

The company branched out to the United States and as of June 2008 was based in Sunnyvale, California.[6][7][8]

Lunascape internationally introduced its browser in December 2008.
