Aquawulf

So far the main way to access the information superhighway, regardless of purpose, is through a web browser. Many have managed to make a name for themselves throughout the years, but others like Aquawulf don’t need to be neglected, putting more emphasis on speed, and navigation comfort, than bundling up features you don’t really need.

There are several components which make a web browser practical, and to better understand what Aquawulf is all about, we’re going to go through a few of them. In terms of visuals, the interface is custom-made, with an appealing look and feel, getting you quickly up and running.

Among the first things you’re looking to find in a web browser is practicality, and this is firstly provided by tab support. Luckily, the application includes this on its list of features, letting you comfortably navigate on more pages at a time. However, you can’t arrange them in a custom position, or have them pinned.

You certainly have some pages you frequently visit by now, but using this application, you need to manually go there every time, because of the lack of a favorites manager. History is kept track of, but only for type suggestions, with no actual menu to go through all visited pages in recent days.

The upper toolbar is only fitted with tabs you open, as well as the URL field, and corresponding navigation controls. There’s no dedicated search field, but you can use the URL field to find items of interest. Simply writing down one or more words initiates a Google search. The default search engine can’t be changed though.

Speed leaves a bit more to be desired, and isn’t quite the application’s strongest point. What’s more, there’s a high chance you encounter compatibility issues when browsing on specific pages, which further affects overall practicality.

Bottom line is that a web browser doesn’t need to be picked for the abundance of features, but rather for speed, and only those features you really need, and rely on for your daily Internet activities. Unfortunately, Aquawulf is only at the start of a long road to success, with many, basic features left aside, keeping it far from being a pro.
