Used WindowSurfer for Windows?


Editors’ Review

Download.com staff
WindowSurfer is one of a handful of alternative Web browsers that use Microsoft's Internet Explorer technology as a foundation, hoping to attract users with a redesigned interface and a few new features. This particular program aims at Web surfers who often revisit the same sites, with a side panel full of links that help users log on to a group of favorite pages simultaneously and automatically. Like most other modern browsers, it allows users to surf several sites at once inside the same window.

It offers user accounts that make most sense with older operating systems such as Windows 98 or ME. It doesn't allow customizable toolbars, a strategy which can help keep some spyware or adware applications off a machine, but can also block some useful tools from big Web sites like Yahoo or Google. We found the pop-up blocker to work well, and liked a feature that lets users manually delete individual links from the browsing history. On the whole, it's not a bad entry in the browser wars, worthy of a look by those hardy souls willing to venture beyond Firefox and Internet Explorer.
