the classic browser uses the chromium renderer to give you a faster, safer web browser by using its own interface and numbercrunching routines.

the interface is certainly classic almost giving you an aol or netscape, oldschool feel. the buttons have a dated fell to them, and a more minimalist approach would be better here. three of the seven buttons i had to mouseover to see what they were. that's ok, though, as mentioned this is using chromium only for rendering, so things are supposed to look different. you can choose your theme, but they aren't themes as much as just different colors.
