Now, if you want to know about this program's interface, you can look at the attached pictures, but you can only draw the conclusions once you get to feel it. Once I finished installing iBrowse Web Explorer and I started it for the first time, I thought this program may prove to be the gem of the day, and I was hardly waiting to discover the interface themes/layouts available, as well as the additional tools that may be packed inside its interface, but the unfortunate truth that I came to discover is that what I found is nothing more than an IE-based browser that seems to have less features than Microsoft's browser.ĭespite the fact that similar programs I got used to, such as Maxthon, AMBrowser or Avant don't take up all your available resources, iBrowse tries to do that, because with only two tabs open, iBrowse ate 80MB of my system's memory, and I must say that this is way too much for me. The last version of this program is labeled as 2.0 by its producer, and I must admit that I was shocked at first sight - I got to discover a good looking web browser that made it to the second full version and I never heard of it before! Well, you can discover it by yourselves too really quick, since the setup package has a size only a little larger than 1MB, and the install process is nothing to be scared about, even if you just landed from Mars in front of your computer, but before you do that, let me share with you my experience. Once upon a time, there was a Web browser for the AmigaOS called IBrowse, a follow-up to the Amiga Mosaic, one of the first programs built to serve this purpose on the Amiga platform, and although the last version of that one was released shortly before last year's end, the Windows program called iBrowse Web Explorer doesn't have any obvious relation with that one. The program I found today has a name that is rather amusing to me, since we've been living in an "iWorld" lately - iPod, iPhone and all the other "iThings" are so easy to encounter once you start your web browser and jump into the matrix, that if somebody asks you about your occupation at that time, you won't answer "I browse", but "iBrowse", and this is a really fortunate coincidence, because "iBrowse Web Explorer" is the name of the program I keep trying to reveal here. About the "excellent" part, that what we should decide while using it. I am sure that most of you heard countless stories about them, you also probably had the chance to use at least the four ones available for the Windows platform, and this makes the game even more interesting, because I had the surprise of finding excellent Web browsers lurking in the dark, and today the time has come to reveal another software application that stands in the shadow. The web browsers sharing over 99 percent of the global market share are only five in number - Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Netscape, and Opera, ordered using their popularity as a criterion. When it comes to browsing the Web, we can't have a web browser for each user surfing the Internet, but the reason for the existence of so many programs built for this purpose is that we have different needs, different tastes, and different interests when going online. Just like all the other human activities, like driving a car, sailing or reading, we don't use the same tools and each one of us has his own tastes, because no matter how would some or others try to say that some people are the same, we are unique. "I browse, you browse, she browses", the truth about the Internet is that this new world wonder also known as "the World Wide Web" became such an usual thing in everyone's life that we only get to appreciate it the right way when we have connection problems.
