CNET Editors' review
Acoo Browser merges a couple of features from its competitors, brings in something new, and combines everything into one package that you'll appreciate. Its GUI offers tabbed browsing like Firefox and IE7 but, setting itself apart, this browser runs tabs along the bottom of the window by default.
You'll also get a few skins like Opera does. All of the usual toolbar navigational buttons are here, plus pop-up blockers and filters for ActiveX controls and ads. Its practical menu options let you quickly change proxies and make quick calculations with clipboard copying for results. Acoo Browser performs almost everything from opening new browser windows to refreshing Web pages with keyboard shortcuts, but its mouse gesture functioning is a gem. You can close, open, and even flip through pages all by holding down a mouse button and moving the mouse in the direction defined on the Help menu.
It also comes with its own built-in tracks cleaner. Wipe out traces of your search history, cache, URL, cookies, and automatically complete forms and passwords one by one or all at once. All surfers will like its added conveniences, along with the shrewd combination of features from popular rivals.

"Farr too difficult to use..."
Version: Acoo Browser 1.98.744
Pros
Looks really cool...
Cons
Slows the computer down way too much and IMPOSSIBLE to do any type of online search for anything...even if you know the web address...
Summary
I don't suggest this brower to anyone, really. While it looks cool, if you want to search the Internet for anything, forget it, it's IMPOSIBLE.
For example...if you type in Gmail.com...rather than taking you to the Gmail sign in page, it'll take you to somthing called Acoosearch with what you're looking for, displayed. Click it...then you get taken to another page. You MIGHT eventually end up where you need to be, but it takes too long and it's simply NOT worth the aggravation...not to mention that this browser has a tendency to crash and or freeze. eezes... -

"Would not work"
Version: Acoo Browser 1.98.744
Pros
Can't judge that at all.

Could not get it to work. Other downloads of other software - no problem. This browser kept giving an error message and 'had to close' so I never even got to see it.

Was looking forward to trying it out.
