Dragonfly for Windows

User Reviews

• Almost a good one

  Theatabby10/5/2006

  Pros

  At first I was taken aback by just how basic this browser is. It's less complicated than notepad! I initially decided it was much too simple, but then I gave it another go and realised that I like it that way. <p>A lot of people think it should have more features, but I don't- it's intended as a basic browser, and that's what it is.

  Cons

  I don't think more features should be added, but the ones that exist should be fixed. This browser needs a horizontal scrollbar, and it's ridiculous that the favourites list clears when the programme is closed. It could also do with some nicer icons, and then I think it'd be just right. <p>I hope to see an improved version sometime.

  Pros

  Very fast, very small

  Cons

  Too simple, buttons need work, no bottom scroll bar, I wouldn't recommend this unless your computer is from 1995.

• Really Fast

  ExoticBlue_Green7/12/2005

  Pros

  Well, it works faster than firefox for me. Doesn't bother me that it is basic because I can just go back to internet explorer or netscape to get advanced things. But I really like this because it's fast...for now.

  Cons

  Some people might not like that it is basic. But sometimes less is more. That is why the browser is more than likely fast, add everything else to it and it would be slow. Firefox does the same thing, once you add stuff it slows down.

• Way too simple

  russlay6/28/2005

  Pros

  Very compact, loads pages fast.Hasn't crashed.

  Cons

  Like most of the "alternative" browsers, this one runs on the IE platform, which means it doesn't offer anything "radical" like Netscape, Opera, or Firefox. This one is perhaps too simplistic. There are only two drop down menus, "File" which offers only one choice (Exit) and "Favorites" which offers but one selection (Add Bookmark). The bookmark saved will disappear once the browser is closed and restarted. You have five commands--back, forward, reload, stop, and home. The home icon takes you to the Dragonfly homepage, but won't allow you to choose a different default home page. <p> <p>I like many of these shell browsers because of the features they offer, but in the long run, without different rendering engines, all you really have is a souped up, or souped "down" version of IE.

• A bit lacking, but decent enough.

  Ormy6/13/2005

  Pros

  It's a very small file size, and it's ad-free. I've also had yet to experience a program crash with it.

  Cons

  Due to the small file size, features are very limited. Perhaps a little more customization and tabbed browsing would make this program better

• Too Basic.

  Mrsone6/9/2005

  Pros

  Extremely small file size.

  Cons

  This browser is far too basic for anyone who is familiar with ANY browser to use. I mean there are no customization features, or even features to increase functionality. It is just a barebones browser. Forward, Back, Address field, Home page, and bookmarks. That is it. If you have any other browser, this one will automatically take a backseat.
