Alefox was inspired by Alex Albrecht on the
weekly video
podcast entitled diggnation. During Diggnation
Episode 55, Alex mentioned the Alefox concept as a joke,
claiming that if he had a web browser named after him, it would
crash only on Macintosh and be extremely secure. Shortly after the
podcast was released, a
fan of the show developed the browser.
The browser is currently
in very early stages of development. Shortly after it was released,
it was made open
source and can now be found on SourceForge (links below). A Macintosh OS X version
is available for download and a Windows version is
planned.
