Browsr

Browsr is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping you view photos from the online image and video hosting website, Flickr, right from your desktop.

It sports a clean and straightforward layout that allows you to configure the dedicated parameters with minimum effort.

The tool gives you the possibility to access several features supported by Flickr, namely Photostream, Contacts, Sets, Collections, Tags, Favorites, and others.

What’s more, you are allowed to view images and clips, copy photos to the clipboard for pasting them into other third-party utilities, and check the information about your profile (nickname, date since you have last uploaded photos, number of images and views).

Browsr lets you monitor your recent activity related to your comments, contacts’ photos, contacts that have uploaded an image, or public pictures, carry out search operations by user-defined text, tags, email, username, or places, as well as preview the selected photo via your default web browser.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to view the most recent or important data about an item, refresh the information with just one click, and change the frames of the images (e.g. white, black, glossy) and background (e.g. transparent, black).

Last but not least, you are allowed to move the desktop Flickr client to any area of the screen, and check the updates of recent events in your pictures or recent photos of your contacts.

During our testing we have noticed that Browsr accomplishes a task quickly and provides very good image quality. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

Browsr offers a handy set of tools for helping you access and explore images posted on Flickr. Thanks to its intuitive layout, it is suitable for beginners and professionals alike.
