Publisher's description of Phoenix Web Browser

This browser is a slightly diffrent browser compaired to many others. It is aimed more for Web developers, but is simple enough for regular users too. This application was developed in Visual Basic, therefore you will need to place the runtime files included, in the System32 folder. This browser features favorites, source viewing, and more small features. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Editor's review of Phoenix Web Browser

• "Phoenix Web Browser"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Phoenix Web Browser 1

This freeware Web browser fails to add anything new or improved to the field. Phoenix Web Browser's plain pull-down menus and simple buttons resemble the more popular browsers. You won't find a Help function, but only the most novice users would need one.

This program offers the browser standards, allowing the user to enter a URL, click links, and save favorites. It has most of the functions you'll find in default installations of Firefox or Internet Explorer. This application does add a menu to open and read mail from select e-mail programs. There are also some rarely needed functions to print or capture the desktop. More important are the many functions this application lacks. There aren't any methods to add plug-ins, change fonts, increase or decrease text sizes, disable javascript, or the many other features found in the popular browsers.

We can't say this program is more efficient, as Phoenix Web Browser is consistent with Firefox for memory use. There really isn't any reason to use this application over any of the other free, but much more robust, Web browsers.

  "Phoenix 1 Unstable"

  by elvis19777 on October 19, 2007

  Pros: It's fast.

  Cons: Works fine for awhile, then my screen starts flashing, and can't close the program. I just had to cut my pc off, and start again. Can't find a help section on it. Trying to store fav on it, don't really show you how. Say it's 4 or 5 mbs, but when i got rid of the program it took away 16 mbs. Another thing,it has that window mail, which i hate. When it's working, it's great. But they will have to fix the bugs in it first.
