Viasat Browser

The browser wars is fierce and a few major players lead the way. But alongside the big players come web browsers that provide focus on certain aspects users might be interested in, such as security or extra functionality. One example is Viasat Browser, which makes use of Chromium’s power to provide a more secure and a faster user experience.

We are living a time when the Internet makes the world go round and, as such, the navigation speed a desideratum of any web browser. Viasat Browser adopts a different approach when it comes to web surfing, the speed being one of the top priorities of the development team.

The browser makes use of modern technologies, namely artificial intelligence, to get faster the more you use it. The browser studies visited pages and their structure, the loaded elements and so on, so as to learn about the loading speed, needed and unnecessary items, and so on. The idea is that next time you load the same page, the loading speed is faster.

The Chromium-based layout will l make the application seem quite familiar. The tab-based GUI allows you to navigate to multiple pages at once. Just like in Chromium, you can group tabs, reload, pin or duplicate them with ease.

All of the other basic features of Chromium are also found in Viasat Browser, namely the bookmarks manager, the download manager, the developer tools, print support and a task manager. Also, you can create browsing profiles with custom colors and settings. It also features support for browser extensions to enrich the browser’s functionality and it comes with an incognito mode with higher privacy standards.

And speaking of privacy, you should know that Viasat Browser comes with a few functions and features that are meant to protect your identity while navigating online. For instance, it bundles a built-in blocker for ads, trackers, auto play attempts and malicious items.

The Viasat Browser Dashboard is where you can see statistics regarding blocked ads, blocked malicious files, tracker scripts and autoplays. There is also an advanced dashboard, which allows you to view and access a list of filters that the browser uses for its security-related actions.

Viasat Browser in an interesting alternative to the major players, especially if you like Chromium-based designs. The security-oriented feature set, together with the AI-based technology make it worth your attention.
