Preview Web Pages using Browster

Browster is an interesting program that can be used by many of us, especially for ones who spend lots of time on search engines.

Browster lets you to go through search results more quickly and with less clicks. When browster is installed a special icon appears near each link on the search results page. Hovering a mouse over that icon opens a popup window displaying contents of the destination page. Popup window remians open as long as cursor remains on top of it or link. This way you get to see webpage contents in far shorter time then it would take to open and load page. The idea here is to strip the page from some additional code and present it for a fast preview. If your internet is slow and you get annoyed waiting for slow page loads, I would recommend to try it out, as well. For a visual demonstration roll in here.

Service provided by browser seems to be compelling, however its usability depends on the the type of user you are. For instance, I decided to uninstall browser after using it for a while as I realised it’s not useful for my style of browsing, where I usually read most of the pages I click through. If I would just skim through pages then I would probably keep it.

Anyways, I think application can be useful for mainstream users. Browster is totally free and download does not take long (not for dial up ancestors though). It supports both Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers.

“Ever wish it was easier to browse search results? With Browster (beta), a free download that integrates with IE, it’s much easier..” PC Magazine
