Falcon Browser

The online world is huge and having an adequate browser is just as important as having a valid Internet connection. Although there are several well-established players on the market, new navigators are being built on a regular basis, seeking to bring innovation to a domain that has always been highly dynamic. Falcon Browser is one of the latest such attempts, trying to win over users with its highly simplistic layout and support for all common browsing operations.

Probably the distinguishing factor is that the program requires no installation, as it is Java-based, and this allows it to be employed by users from virtually any platform. All the standard browser tools are available, such as the address bar, back, refresh, and forward commands, as well as zoom functions.

The layout is very user-friendly, as large buttons control most of the program's navigation. As with most other browsers, the GUI is very clean and users will find no menu items cluttering the interface; all the main functions can be accessed via a simple button placed on the upper-right area.

Several quick links to popular web resources adorn the upper side of the main window and, although these can potentially save a great amount of time, a good feature would have been the ability to adjust the URL addresses these buttons redirect to.

Several other options improve the overall users' experience, such as bookmarks or downloads managers; a notable feature is also the ability to save web resources to the local disk and one can also employ multiple tabs to navigate the online environment efficiently. The program supports loading plugins and web developers will appreciate the comprehensive 'dev tools' available.

All things considered, Falcon Browser is an ideal program for users who seek a cross-platform browsing solution. Most of the standard online navigation options are available to users and, although the application brings little in the way of innovation, one can employ it to browse the Internet with adequate results.
