Publisher's description of WindowSurfer

From WindowSurfer Software:

WindowSurfer is a tabbed web browser and is designed for users who have to keep logged into several web sites throughout the day. The user does a one time setup by creating Links to desired websites in a side panel and fills in the site details like URL, UserName, Password. User also selects if she wants Auto-Load, Auto-Refresh and popup blocking for each Link. Once this setup is done, then WindowSurfer does the rest of work of keeping the user logged into desired web sites every day. Each site opens in its own tab and the user can easily switch between different sites. Passwords are securely encrypted and stored on the user's own computer. It is a great productivity tool for users where they have to login to multiple Web sites throughout the day. It is also useful for busy people as it enables them to quickly go through their web accounts without any typing. Access is controlled by a user set master password. It has a unique side-by-side web search interface using Google/Yahoo/MSN.

Version 1.9.20 adds an option to go to another page, before attempting login.

Editor's review of WindowSurfer

4.0 stars
""

WindowSurfer is one of a handful of alternative Web browsers that use Microsoft's Internet Explorer technology as a foundation, hoping to attract users with a redesigned interface and a few new features. This particular program aims at Web surfers who often revisit the same sites, with a side panel full of links that help users log on to a group of favorite pages simultaneously and automatically. Like most other modern browsers, it allows users to surf several sites at once inside the same window.

It offers user accounts that make most sense with older operating systems such as Windows 98 or ME. It doesn't allow customizable toolbars, a strategy which can help keep some spyware or adware applications off a machine, but can also block some useful tools from big Web sites like Yahoo or Google. We found the pop-up blocker to work well, and liked a feature that lets users manually delete individual links from the browsing history. On the whole, it's not a bad entry in the browser wars, worthy of a look by those hardy souls willing to venture beyond Firefox and Internet Explorer.

"Very good and fast"

by sp8s on May 6, 2007

Pros: I like the sidebar with all the tabs for the sites that a visted on a regular basis.
Bookmarks are used often to mark pages you wish to revisit

Cons: Unless you you pay 49.95, you can only use five usernames and passwords. If they were to allow 10 usernames and passwords, I would rate this browser 5 stars.

"A very good browser"

by jkloosterman on January 31, 2007

Pros: I like the possibility to store and easily access frequently visited web pages. The interface is very good in my opinion.

Cons: Integration with other applications like Roboform is not super (it works, but you have to know how). It is also not possible to export settings. Pity.
