AppliArt Browser

The main gateway to the information superhighway is still the web browser, and there are an abundance of applications which managed to make a name for themselves. This doesn’t mean that the lesser-known need to be overlooked, and AppliArt Browser is a suitable example of the practicality of alternatives to popular browsers.

The application wants to be a healthier alternative to popular browsers, but still able to provide the necessary set of features. The interface isn’t really modern, but it doesn’t mean you have any trouble accommodating with the set of features. The upper toolbar holds necessary functions, such as navigation controls and the URL field.

Browsing and the set of functions rely on Internet Explorer options, so changing settings is done in a similar manner. This means you can easily change the homepage, search engine used to look up items of interest, as well as favorites and bookmarks. Most of the space represents the preview section, and you can maximize the window for better view.

On the bright side of things, the application wants to provide comfortable navigation, so it comes with support for multiple tabs. However, there are no options to choose what happens to them when the program gets closed, so you need to open them from scratch with every browsing attempt.

As mentioned, the application lets you save favorite pages to be accessed easier later on. There’s also a search field which enables quick and easy lookup of items of interest over the web. However, the program isn’t really up to date with modern web scripts, and there’s a high chance you run into several issues and errors during navigation.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that AppliArt Browser does manage to provide the expected set of features, such as favorites manager, tab support, and search field. However, the lack of updates prevents it from being fully compatible with modern web page content.
