Browse With Me

In modern times, a computer without an active Internet connection is of little use. To go online, you need one of those specialized applications known as web browsers that let you visit your favorite pages in just a few seconds, or faster. Amongst others, Browse With Me tries to make a name for itself through simplicity and speed.

It’s pretty easy to find a web browser to suit all your Internet needs, as well as provide a fast enough navigation. As such, you might just look for an alternative that provides visual customization or dedicated features you need for work. It’s a little difficult to tell exactly what Browse With Me brings, especially after the first impression, which leaves a bit more to be desired.

On a visual level, the whole thing is built on the Windows XP style frame, but most space is dedicated to content, and all tools are stored in the upper toolbar. Buttons are represented by intuitive icons, and overall accommodation doesn’t take that much time, or effort.

The first thing you might want to do is go ahead and pop in an URL in the dedicated field to see if it works. We have to admit that speed is pretty decent, and it can load all types of content without any compatibility issues. In addition to writing down the website address, you can fill in the search field and let a personalized version of Google provide some suggestions.

Navigation buttons let you go back and forth, refresh, or stop the page from loading. If you need to send a quick email, you can have the desktop client brought up at the press of a button. Moreover, there’s a built-in favorites manager to keep tabs on pages you visit the most, with Internet Explorer favorites automatically imported.

The sad part is that you need to open up different application instances if you want to stay on more pages at a time. There is no support for multiple tabs, but you can right-click a link and choose to open it in a new window, so you don’t run the application and navigate manually.

All things considered, we can safely state that Browse With Me has a little bit more to learn from leaders on the market of web browsers. Speed is probably the only advantage, managing to meet only simple demands, because it lacks some advanced features that prevent it from being the first choice when going online.
