The World Browser for Windows

User Reviews

• Nice design & features...far slower than other browsers

  Don-JensenSeptember 9, 2011

  Pros

  This browser has a lot of really good features. It doesn't have the wealth of add-ons/extensions like Firefox or Chrome, but I like it's user interface flexibility.

  Cons

  Although the user interface is very flexible with a lot of nice functions, it is very reminiscent of Internet Explorer 7 and 8, in style and in how terribly slow it is. According to my benchmarks Chrome and Opera are more than 10 times faster!

  Summary

  Nice design...not many add-ons...far too slow to warrant a shift from other more popular browsers such as IE 9, Chrome, Opera, Firefox, and Safari.

• I was disappointed

  iowastateJune 7, 2011

  Pros

  didn't have a chance to get to any pro

  Cons

  the only con was a cascade failure it caused when I tried to implement the world browser

  Summary

  I couldn't get it to load at all. I had to reboot my pc because IE9 started to overload with a cascade failure after I downloaded this and tried to run it.

• clean setup and interface

  dr_carlDecember 7, 2010

  Pros

  The nice clean screen

  Cons

  It keeps doing it own thing and I cannot uninstall it. A real pain.

  Summary

  I don't like it because it just takes over. Maybe it just because I don't know how to config it but it is a lot of trouble, for me.

• Good not great

  TaizongOctober 28, 2010

  Pros

  Very fast. Start up may have a clunk but its still faster than Firefox and Chrome.

  Cons

  It's missing some things like ad blocker. I also wish it had options for not remember history and send statics.

  Summary

  Like IE but faster. I would still prefer Chrome or Firefox though.

• A good browser but not well know.

  andreabormanAugust 8, 2010

  Pros

  Good but not well known.

  Cons

  Not very well known.

  Summary

  This browser is fast a bit like Flock but it is not very well known. i went onto the browser website to download it because I did not want to download as a zip file. I chose normal download. The only thing I did not like was that some of the writing was in Japanese and the bookmarks displayed like folders and the appearence was quite ugly.That is why although it is fast it only gets a 3 star rating.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 11, 2010<p/>Since I last reviewed this browser I am using it again and I find there are not any problems with this regarding browsing,watching videos,downloading etc. The World Browser looks rather like Flock when you look at it's desktop icon. But Flock is a geko engine browser Mozilla based but The world browser is based on the Internet Explorer engine. As most readers know i hate Internet explorer itselfe because it is slow and crashes and unreliable. But other browsers based on it's engine that runs Internet Explorer seem to be a lot better and different Internet explorer that is much hated by most people who use the computer. The world browser has it's own features and and customisations of the browser that are very different to IE and has pop up blockers that you can enable or disable. you cannot always do this in Internet Explorer. The world is quite fast and browsers the web quickly. I previously complained about it appearence but you CAN change the theme.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 11, 2010<p/>The world browser is a good alternative to using Internet Explorer and usful for sites that look better in IE mode but it is good for all types of web tasks. The world has not been updated since last year 2009 but it works okay and it plays all types of videos even Facebook videos,which run on a different flash player. Although the world browser is made for Windows Xp,2000 and Vista it works well on Windows 7 which is what I have. Which is good new for anyone wanting this browser and also it works well so you would not know it does not have the Geko engine if you did not look at the info. on the browser website. So it seems this browser can be used on all types of Windows computer including Windows 7.

• Clean,Breezy not full-featured IE Companion!!

  Fred55110April 17, 2010

  Pros

  Very light interface, clean easy to use at a glance

  Cons

  It seems to use whatever IE add-on devices you have but doesn't take full advantage of them. I, couldn't get Windows Media Player to work in it at all and had problems with flash player as well.

  Summary

  Its a great little browser for things like checking the weather from the weather service or reading the newspaper online and things like that, it falls down in the category's of streaming video and most multimedia applications I, tried. I, could imagine many people using this application and loving it, it doesn't hog resources up and seemed to run some things much faster then Internet Explorer but, for my internet uses it falls short since I, like to run video or listen to streaming music and video and the program seems to have problems with that. The other problem I, have is that while I, use Firefox The World only wants to use Microsoft updates, plugins, etc. so if your going to use it you need to update your IE or you'll crash and burn over and over. In summary for the price (its FREE!) its worth a try it does work but its not for everybody!
