Someone has finally done their homework. Whether from their own experience
or from feedback from other frustrated IE users Stilesoft has created what very well might
be the perfect Web Browser.
Netcaptor, formerly known as SimulBrowse, is an MDI browser built upon the base of IE.
However Stilesoft delivers what surfers really need a fast, easy and very powerful tabbed
interface browser that has every feature you can think of and some you could not.
For starters, the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) allows you to open as many different
web sites as your PC will allow and easily navigate between them by clicking on tabs. The
tabs even show the status of the various pages whether the site has been contacted, is in
the process of being downloaded, or is ready to view is denoted by a red, yellow or green
indicator right on the tab itself. You can close individual tabs or all of them at once
with just a couple of mouse clicks. A fantastic feature is called Captor Groups. These are
user defined sets of pages that will all be opened at once for your viewing pleasure.
Absolutely wonderful if there are several sites you check every day, or even more than
once per day. Creating the groups is as easy as opening the pages you want in the group on
multiple tabs then telling Netcaptor to create a Captor Group from the opened pages. You
can even set a group to be your home page so that all your favorites open at once every
time you connect. This is a real time saver let me tell you.
Built right in to Netcaptor are options to kill pop-up ads, display graphics or not, play
music or not, etc. further speeding up your surfing experience. Access to your e-mail is
one click away because the program will launch your default mail client for you and check
your mail at the press of a button.
Extensive keyboard shortcuts make this a browser that is friendly to the physically
impaired.
I could not find a single flaw in the design or function of Netcaptor. My hat is off to
the developers at Stilesoft. Keep up the great work guys we really appreciate it.
If you are already an IE 4 or 5 user you will be amazed at how this piece of software
enhances your time on the Internet. If you do not use IE, this is an excuse to give in and
try it. You will not be disappointed. If you are only going to download one piece of
software from the net ( yeah right;) ) Netcaptor should be the one.
