Platinum

With each year the technology evolved, it offered us a wide diversity of handy utilities to help make our lives much easier and productive. A few examples are the great variety of image and word editors, anti-viruses, to protect our system and simple sticky notes to keep temporary information at a click away. Web browsers, on the other hand, provided fewer options at first, but with time, they brought faster and simpler ways to navigate our favorite webpages, chat with people from around the world live, as well as look for work jobs and watch movies.

Along the way, web browsers evolved in more sophisticated and user-orientated programs, coming packed with a lot of useful features for a more productive personal and professional life. They provide customized themes to add a unique touch, different add-ons to protect our privacy, store sensitive information and optimize the browsing sessions.

Platinum is a simple and minimalistic web browser designed to offer a quick way to navigate your preferred sites without having to deal with unnecessary add-ons that might complicate your life. The setup is over in a blink of an eye and uneventful.

It's wrapped in outdated yet user-friendly layout with only five buttons mostly for navigating between pages and a few settings, where you can change the home URL and the background image from three predefined ones. Unfortunately, you can't use your own pictures, and there is no option to download more from the developer's site.

Pages and videos are loaded at a great speed while at the bottom of the window, a loading bar is displayed. Despite the fact that there is a choice to save images on the computer, the tool doesn't execute that command. What's more, the app doesn't come with privacy, bookmark and history features to easily secure the sessions from unwanted ads and harmful utilities.

On ending note, Platinum is a straightforward application created only for those who prefer a more basic and uncomplicated utility without additional components to simply chat with friends, watch clips and read your emails. Unfortunately, the app's offered functions leave much to be desired.
