DustyNet

DustyNet is an easy-to-use piece of software developed to function as a basic web browser, providing you with the ability to explore various websites in a relaxing manner.

The program is quite simple, featuring only a few essential functions, namely 'Go', 'Home', 'Refresh', 'Add Tab', 'Remove Tab', 'Forward' and 'Back', none of which have hotkeys assigned, so you need to press the buttons in DustyNet's main window to make them work.

To access a web page, you need to input its URL address and click on the 'Go' button. In order to move downwards, you can only use your mouse scroll, as it does not respond to the keyboard arrows, nor does it have a scroll bar on the side, for you to use.

DustyNet allows you to open a HTML file or save the current page to HTML; you can also print it for a more thorough analysis, or you can obtain a 'Print Preview'. From the context menu, you can view a page's source, save the background of a website or add a page to your favorites. However, you do not have the possibility of setting bookmarks. The tool allows you to download files to your PC, saving them to a location you choose.

The application is a standalone browser which doesn't require installation and can easily be stored and run from from any removable media drive, so you can use it at work or at home, wherever you prefer. Consequently, it does not generate any registry entries on your PC, and you can remove it from your system just by deleting the containing folder.

To summarize, DustyNet is a basic Internet browser that offers you minimal features and functions, allowing you to explore the web with ease, from your desktop or a USB stick. However, it's not enough to convince users to drop their current web browser of choice.
