The latest version of Arachne Browser 1.85 - China DOS Union Forum

Today, I accidentally looked up the word "Arachne" and found out that it originally means spider. There is also a story behind this word:

In English, "Arachne" means spider, and this word originates from Greek mythology. This myth is about a girl named Arachne who is an excellent weaver. Therefore, she challenged the Greek goddess Athena to a weaving competition. When Arachne wove a beautiful and perfect tapestry, Athena actually destroyed the loom and turned her into a spider.

The Tarantula Nebula located in the Dorado constellation extends shiny gas rings outward from the nebula, resembling a large spider. It looks about the size of a full moon, but actually has a diameter of 800 light-years.

I have to say something to the author of Arachne: The development progress is really too slow. Up to now, it still doesn't support long file names and Chinese.

Yes, especially the lack of Chinese support, and also it takes up too much memory. I wonder if there's a way to make it load only the most basic modules and take up less memory.
