Hi friends, I just loaded the Sundial Browser and have used it now without any trouble. It seems to be rather fast and has all the usual properties what the browsers nowadays have. I was not able to find out why it was named Sundial but it seems the first browser to support newly created Internet addresses that use characters belonging to other written languages such as: Chinese, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hindi, etc For instance, with Sundial you can open the link http://xn--c1akatdsh9a7b.xn--a-ctbxhks/ <http://гостиницы.москвa/> which with an ordinary browser is not possible. But you can try to see what there is written.
