MicroSurfer Plus Edition 2.3.3

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

Nobody likes to sit around waiting for Web pages to load. This Internet navigation tool loads pages in the background, letting you jump among links without waiting for pages to display. Simply drag the links from the browser and drop them into the MicroSurfer interface, and it loads while you visit other sites or take that much-deserved coffee break. The intuitive interface lets you arrange your browser and the MicroSurfer window in a way that's comfortable for you. We preferred to maximize our browser and keep the MicroSurfer window off to one side. However, we found it counterproductive to have to drag and drop each link rather than just click a link for automatic loading. Overall, we found MicroSurfer to be an invaluable tool, especially for those who suffer from a slow or unreliable Internet connection, since it lets you easily collect, organize, and share links. In addition, MicroSurfer increases surfing speed for broadband connections. By collecting all the links you want to see on your first visit to a page, you never have to backtrack, and you can download multiple links at once, thus saving you time no matter what your connection speed is.
