uBrowser be cool browser

uBrowser is a simple Web Browser that illustrates one way of embedding the Mozilla® Gecko rendering engine into a standalone application using LibXUL. In this case, the contents of the page is grabbed as it's being rendered and displayed as a texture on some geometry using OpenGL™. You are able to interact with the page (mostly) normally and visit (almost) any site that works correctly with Firefox® 1.5.

uBrowser allows you to manipulate your internet browsing in realtime 3d space. It's not what you would call useful, but it sure is visually pleasing. The above picture utilizes the cube feature of uBrowser. A site will stay fully functional as you mess around with the 3d attributes, although some things such as quicktime movies don't seem to want to play.
