Distant Web Browser

Distant Web Browser is a small web browser whose purpose is to help you explore websites and work with several additional utilities that allow you to download files, access FTP clients, check out a calendar, and open an HTML editor. All of the aforementioned tools are equipped with basic features.

The main window of the utility is dedicated to navigating on the Internet. The additional set of options can be opened in dedicated panels.

The web browsing environment looks clean and embeds four large buttons for helping you jump to the previous or next webpage, refresh the information, as well as stop the loading process.

Plus, Distant Web Browser shows the time (in hours, minutes and seconds) directly in the main panel and lets you perform searches on Google. The web browser loads pages pretty quickly, while eating up a moderate amount of system resources.

It comes with support for a multi-tabbed environment so you can open different websites and quickly switch between them. Tabs can be closed using only the dedicated button integrated in the GUI, as there’s no button included within tabs for closing them directly, just like in any other modern web browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Opera).

You are allowed to print data, save pages to HTML, MHT or plain text file format, create bookmarks, view a history with all accessed webpages and clear it with a single click, as well as install extensions.

Distant Web Browser gives you the possibility to download files by specifying a valid URL, picking the saving directory, and monitoring details about the speed and size. The calendar allows you to jump to the next or previous month, while the FTP client helps you download or upload files.

Last but not least, the HTML editor lets you type the text directly in the main window or paste it from the clipboard and open different HTML files at the same time, thanks to the multi-tabbed layout.

Distant Web Browser delivers only several elementary tools which can be used especially by rookies. Advanced features, such as private browsing sessions, data sync across multiple devices and bookmark importing/exporting options, are not available, not to mention that some of the existing utilities need enhancements.
