CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

As promised, this Web browser is easier on your system resources than alternatives such as Internet Explorer, but it doesn't offer tabbed browsing or support some plug-ins from other companies. m9P's straightforward interface consists of the viewing window, a File menu, and a pared down toolbar that holds only basic navigational buttons.

It automatically adds your IE favorites on installation and there's an option to import your bookmarks from Netscape, but Firefox isn't supported. Pages are quick to load, and it handles Flash animation and Java just as well as IE or Firefox. It has the standard buttons to navigate backward, forward, refresh, and stop loading, and all worked fine. The File menu provides access to an Internet Options window that is nearly indistinguishable from IE's. It doesn't have a plug-in manager or other method of adding toolbars or add-ons, although there are multiple links to the publisher's other products and some of these paid products appear to work with the browser like plug-ins. It doesn't support tabs either, a feature that's become standard in most browsers today.

If you've used any type of browser before, you can use this one. You won't find some of the extras offered in the more popular Web browsers, but if you're more concerned with conserving system resources, this freeware program has a very small footprint.
