Shiira overview
Shiira is a Web browser written in Cocoa. It uses the KHTML rendering engine provided by Apple's Web Kit. Since this is the same rendering engine used by Safari, HTML content rendered by Shiira will look the same as in Apple's own browser. All source code is publicly available under the BSD license. We hope that our code will help other developers just starting out on their own Web Kit projects.
The first Shiira milestone is to implement the features used in everyday Web browsing. The following has been implemented in the current version:
- Tabbed windows
- Bookmark management
- Sharing bookmarks with Safari
- Side drawer showing bookmarks and history
- Bookmarks toolbar
- Search field with choice of search engine
- Customizing toolbar
- Cache control panel
- Window appearance switching (Aqua and Metal)
- Toolbar icons switching
- Removing Cookie and cache at the termination
- Displaying favicon list
- Enable/disable favicon with bookmark
- Help document (Japanese only)
- Multiple source windows per one browser window
- Displaying HTTP header in source window
- Wheel button operation (open in new tab, and tab switching)
- Auto-tab for bookmark folder
- Displaying back-forward list on toolbar buttons
- Search text field for bookmark and history

Version: 2.3

This needs to be taken down, this was once a fast, minimalist browser but it is no longer under development. I'm running a mac mini with OSX Sierra 10.12.6. It will download and open, but will steadfastly refuse to open a browser window, so in effect, it's not worth hosting as a download. Half a star purely to get this review online.

It is a shame that development has stopped, I was looking forward to seeing where the developers would take it. It was off to a good start features wise.

For a long time my favorite browser, in spite of all the bugs.
Today it is a dead application. It does not function any more with OS X 10.7 Lion.
I would have paid for a functional Shiira.

Dead link.
I´m afraid the development stopped. The latest version (2.3) is terrible buggy...
