Naenara Browser is the DPRK's version of Firefox that comes built into Red Star OS, the official operating system of North Korea. I recently got my hands on Naenara Browser version 3.5. My first impression in playing with it is that this is one ancient version of Firefox. Like maybe more than a half dozen major revisions out of date?

They're probably trying to keep it as simple as possible feature-wise.

I have to wonder what the percentage of people in NK who could actually access the web?
