New Sri Lankan Browser on the Block

xAurora is a new web browser created by a Sri lankan named Dr. Sameera De Alwis. I have absolutely no idea wether this is true or not, but at first glance it seems to be so.

Whats special about this new browser, apart from being written by a Sri Lankan, is that it was apparently written completely in Win32 Assembly. Yeah you heard me right. Win32 Assembly. All that WinMain, WndClass, TranslateMessage and DispatchMessage stuff. Writing full blown applications in Win32 Assembly is a rare feat in itself (these days or for a local guy), and must be contributing to the fact that the executable file is just 759KB. The code seems to be using the IE Engine to render pages, but I am not sure on this. Another serious thing is that the browser runs in ring 0. The same level in which the kernel operates (I didnt know this was possible. Can anyone tell me how to do it?). Of course, there is no way to verify this claim, since the site says that the application is closed source. But the software itself is free, so go ahead and download this software and support our local talent (Did I mention it loads pages fast too).
