Extra Browse

Extra Browse is a web surfing application built to be lightweight and easy to deploy, while consuming as few resources as possible.

The first thing you notice when opening the tool is how similar it looks compared with other mainstream browsing programs. It comes with multi-tabbed support and most of the other basic functionalities you see in more well-known browsers.

Besides the multi-tabbed feature, Extra Browser allows the user to quickly set his favorite pages and choose his preferred homepage. Although lacking more complex functions, like an integrated quick-search bar, it has a functioning history option that allows users to quickly find their favorite search engine at the press of just a couple of buttons.

Except the 'social interaction' option that allows users to quickly interact with their favorite social networking websites, there's not much else Extra Browse offers compared to more popular browsers.

It works fine with HTML5 websites, but it does have some quirks with Flash-based online utilities. However, if you like your browser to leave a minimal footprint on your system's resources, then don't think twice before using it.

Users can also bookmark pages, but be aware that it won't make any accessibility regarding them fairly easy. Typing your way on the Internet is still the way to go when using Extra Browse.

Extra Browse doesn't stand out in any specific way compared to other more complex web surfing apps. Its functions as a browser are minimal, but effective. If you plan to gain some extra performance while multitasking between different programs, this tool won't make your system feel encumbered in any way.

Overall, simplicity and efficiency are its biggest advantages. Although it does not come with an impressive amount of features, it may be very well suited to older computers that don't have tons of RAM memory to spare.
