Lunascape

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).[1][2] The user can switch between layout engines seamlessly.

Lunascape is available for Windows and Android platforms, as well as macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS.

## History

Lunascape was released in October 2001 while the founders were in college. As the browser became popular, Hidekazu Kondo established the Lunascape Corporation in August 2004 while pursuing a PhD. Hidekazu Kondo then became the CEO of Lunascape Corporation. Additionally, Lunascape was selected as an "Exploratory Software Project" commissioned by the Japanese government.[3]

The company established a subsidiary in the United States in June 2008 based in Sunnyvale, California.[4][5][6]

Lunascape introduced its browser internationally in December 2008.

On April 6, 2017, Lunascape Corporation was acquired by Media Do (ja) [7]

On November 30, 2019, the Lunascape web browser business was acquired by G.U.Labs, with Hidekazu Kondo becoming the representative director and CEO of G.U.Labs.[8]

On December 1, 2019, Lunascape Corporation was dissolved and merged into Media Do.[9]
