Portable Off By One Web Browser

Portable Off By One Web Browser is a multi-tabbed web navigator with basic browsing features, a simple interface and an even simpler engine.

In its time, Portable Off By One Web Browser was an appreciated and popular endeavor, however, the lack of updates made it incompatible with modern technologies, such as HTML5. So much so, that it is no longer a viable choice for users who want to experiment with the latest web architectures.

The program is brought in a self-contained form, which allows you to extract it to a folder on your computer and run it without affecting the system registry. The appearance of the browser is rather simple and rudimentary compared to present-day navigators, although the functions are clearly expressed through a few well-organized menus and an extensive toolbar.

It sports a multi-tabbed approach, which at the time of its development, was a rare feature. It can save the current page with all of its elements, including pictures and features a function for quickly locating user-defined text.

Other highlights include page zoom, a hotlist feature that is most probably the equivalent of the nowadays Bookmarks toolbar, as well as support for cookies and SSL. In addition to these, you can disable the displaying of images and animations (for removing advertisements), and to enable the refresh of metadata.

The ugly truth is that Portable Off By One Web Browser behaves poorly on newer operations system and is in need of an urgent update in order to regain the reputation it once had. At the current moment, there’s very little chance that users prefer it instead of a modern browser.
