Supposedly it supports rendering through both the Mozilla Gecko and Internet Explorer engines. I haven't seen anything that would point towards choosing between the two engines though.

What I have noticed is that the browser looks horribly ugly

Netscape owned up until 4.0 was released. Then it turned to shit. It apparantly still is shit.

Beauty is in simplicity, so that right there is pretty hideous.

That's fucking horrid. I imagine a fat Yank stuffing fries into her maw while running all her CCs up to the limit shopping using a browser like that.
