X-Browser

Internet browsers allow users to navigate the Web freely and find all sorts of content they might be interested in. Since there are quite a few choices for anyone to try when it comes to the preferred web browsing application, new programs that can bring something new are always welcomed.

X-Browser is a utility that was created to act as a fast loading Internet navigation program and through a simple design it offers a basic set of features.

The plain GUI of this tool makes it very easy to use for beginners, but the lack of more advanced features might keep away many experienced users. The functional commands are neatly stacked inside their corresponding menus, so they can be accessed with minimal efforts.

Even the right-click menu of X-Browser is scarcely populated, as opposed to the vast majority of established similar software solutions. The toolbars cannot be customized, so the default layout will remain pretty much untouched.

When it comes to the way in which this application works, simplicity characterizes it best. It is rather limited in features as compared to similar tools of greater renown, but X-Browser tries to compensate through its speed of loading the websites, which seems to be its main attribute.

The navigation related commands are standard, while the bookmarking module seems to be quite buggy at present. The built-in plugins can be a pleasant surprise for those who wish to link the browser with Winamp or iTunes.

The pop-up blocker alongside the Google Talk integration and the text editor which are also part of the package complete the extras that can be found inside this software.

Overall, X-Browser is far from being a viable alternative one can try when trying to replace one of the big names in the business. There are just too many functions, not to mention the fact that configuring or customizing the browser is virtually impossible at this stage in its development.
