Description
Next:You know that stage where you just don't care any more? Totally brushing that stage as I submit this now. Took WAY too long to finish due to my epic procrastination skills. It's probably rammed with errors like most of my stuff as well, so have fun with that!
This is my first foray into this new series. Where exactly are they? Why does the place it look the way it does? How are they even there in the first place? These and a whole swathe of other important questions remain unanswered right now.
I know, it's a slow start, but hopefully the characters, their relationships, and the fanon describing this bizarre Internet world will become apparent over time. (If you can't cope without knowing more right now, send me a note with any questions and I'll give you some in-depth explanation…)
I think these guys have a lot of potential and could get up to some very interesting shenanigans. The upcoming comics are planned out and the artwork underway… looking forward to drawing some of those, heheh.
As before, big thanks to , , and for their designs of Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer respectively!

i think i get it. is it something like "if internet stuff would be ponies" or something? i mean, i know that kindle is a reference to the fire-whatever (forgot the name, but i know what it is), the pony with the four coloured wings is google crome and the one that doesnt get the meme is internet explorer.
but who is the one on the left in the last panel?

Nice! Like it - and I 'll see how many Parts of it goes... but - have i right Noticed? The Firefox-Pony name's Kindle? I'm a little bit confused, while i think by the name "kindle" on an E-Book...
Let me guess (to sort the Name's right to the Ponys, how we can see here in part 1):
Firefox: Kindle
Opera: Pepsi
Internet Explorer: Ivy
Chrome: Chromia (looked logical, i think)
Am i Right with my thinking about the Name's ?

Hi! Yep you are correct!

Hilarious 
I'm not familiar with anything other than Kindle here, but you've given them genuinely interesting personalities
Good work.
I do wonder if there are male web browsers out there though...
I guess it you want the Mane 5 makes sense to have mares though.

Yeah it made sense for the Mane 5, but yeah, there are definitely others out there...
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
There will be more

woah ivy settle down before i end up losing connection because you decide to go down in the middle of my DA streaming.

I like Maxthon, but it's browser share is tiny in comparison! I can barely keep up with drawing the "mane 5" here
Not ruling anything out, though. Haven't settled on a design for Maxthon yet; at the moment there are only sketches.

The dialogue confuses me. Is the beginning purely speculative? The whole comic seems very surreal.

IE actually knows about memes, but that doesn't mean she likes them.

I loved it...
But it was a little hard to ofllow whow as saying what. could you add like a pointer to the speech bubbles for the next one?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I got a lot of feedback on that, the speech bubbles are colour coded to each character but it's still a little unclear as the characters have so many colours.. also sometimes they're speaking when they're not "in-frame"!
The third and fourth comics had pointers added (follow the links in the description for the next comics) so should be easier to read

no reference to firefox's massive memory consumption?
awwwww.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Modern Firefox actually consumes less memory per tab than equivalent multi-process browsers like Chrome since some data has to be duplicated every time you spin up a new renderer.
The problem is that, because it's all running in one process, it's hard to diagnose memory problems caused by crappy addons.
They're working on a project called electrolysis (e10s for short) which will split things up into something more like Chrome but it's slow going because they have limited manpower and don't have the deep pockets that allowed Google and Microsoft to remedy the problem.

ARRGG!!! I can't see it! I can't see any of your MLW comic strips! Every time I enlarge or download the images, all I get is that stupid little x. Please help!

No no, it's fine. Turns out I was experiencing "Engine Initialization Failure." Damn you, Microsoft.

Safari is as douchy as Steve Jobs was. It makes me proud. *tear*

I like it so far, but the names are throwing me off. They just seem... wrong... although Chromia's name is perfect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Agreed. It took me forever to figure out that "Kindle" was supposed to be Firefox because I kept trying to find a pony representing an Amazon eReader.
It'd be better to use a fire-related noun like Ember rather than a verb or a Firefox-related name like Aurora. (The name for "more beta than beta" Firefox versions that are still stable enough for day-to-day use.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The only name that made any sense was Chromia. In my opinion the rest all need to be renamed.

:33< i named ivy helixia, because of the name 'hedera helix'
:33< and kindle is 'agalomari' because the hindi pronouncing of 'fire' and 'fox' (seperated) is agalomari
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
........ what are you talking about? And what the heck is this ":33<"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That still doesn't increase my understand of what that is supposed to mean.

Shouldn't Firefox be carrying a heavy saddlebag with a bunch of addons and other tools?

i think i stole your googlechrome and firefox....sorry....*sad*
