Internet

With the countless bytes of data being uploaded and transferred across the World Wide Web on a daily basis, the Internet isn't known as the information superhighway for nothing. To enjoy all it has to offer, you're probably familiar with the fact that you need to use a web browser, just like Internet.

The application comes in a light package and takes only little of your time to get it deployed on your system. You need to make sure your computer is equipped with .NET Framework for it to properly function, but if you're running the latest Windows iterations this isn't an issue at all.

Designed with simplicity in mind, it's the first thing that strikes you when the main window is brought up. The interface looks and feels rather old and outdated, with no special visual elements so you can focus on the content itself, rather than getting confused or stuck in ambiguous menus and functions.

Just like you're used to from others of its kind, the upper toolbar is the place where you need to write down the URL, which is also where you find navigation controls, even for a home page. Multiple tabs are supported, but you need to use the file menu each time, or create new ones using corresponding hotkeys.

Sadly, in its simplicity, the application left aside a bunch of important, common features, even in terms of functionality. If you fancy spending your time on YouTube or chatting with your friends on Facebook, this is not the application for you.

Poor implementation of TSL configurations prevent the application from accessing some of the most popular websites out there, which results in a powerful impact on practicality. What's more, modern content triggers different script errors, and when options to tweak settings become available, hitting the corresponding buttons is done in vain.

On an ending note, Internet might trick you into believing it's a powerful web related tool due to the name, but if the information superhighway were to be named after a browser, this is far from being amongst possible choices. Even if accessibility tools such as bookmarks manager or built-in search fields are not implemented, the whole experience is not even close to being easier, because of faulty functionality.
