REALLY cool web browser

Irishwhistle · 04-29-2008, 06:13 PM

This browser is REALLY cool and it's based on Firefox. It's really nice and speedy on Vista (I haven't tried it on XP.) Check it out: http://www.elementsoftware.987mb.com/

Now download it! You're gonna like it.

The only thing I don't like is that the enter key doesn't seem to go to a website... you have to press the go button, hopefuly the guy that developes it will fix that.

He's made some other software I haven't tried, but I will.

DL'ing it now... But what makes it so good?

Kornowski · 04-29-2008, 08:17 PM

Just tried it, and I didn't like it at all... Like you said, it doesn't use 'Enter' to go to a web site, Middle Mouse doesn't open a new TAB. Also, the top toolbar take up well too much of the screen.

Sorry, man.

Well, I can live with the enter key thing and I use Ctrl-T for making a new tab. As far as the ribbon goes (what you called the toolbar) you can hide it. Just go to a new tab, then click on a blank part of a webpage.

That's ok, everyone's got there own opinion I guess.

I have to correct you here, if you do not mind. xD

Element Browser is not based on firefox, it is an entirely new application, except for the ElementKit engine, which is based on gecko (firefox). By default, element uses IE engine but you can select elementkit by using the Web Engine tool.

Element Browser runs perfectly fine on xp, too

oh btw im patternjake, the offical developer of the program (www.patternjake.deviantart.com)

just to add that the enter key is a bug, and i do plan to fix it in the next releases, that bieng release candidate 1.

Oops! I saw the DarkFox thing and, well... I guess I assumed too much.

OK, also, it would be good if you could take care of the middle mouse button thing Kornowski mentioned.

What does this have that firefox doesn't have?

-Cookie Manager
-Ribbon Interface (duh)
-QuickLinks- intergrated services such as MSN Music (similar to flock)
-ShowCase- Shows all your open tabs like IE7 (Element RC1 though)
-RSS Manager
-Widgets
-Built in research
-4 themes built in by default
-Anti-Virus Scanner
-Popup Blocker
-Encyrpted Surfing
-Malicious Code Checker
-Direct intergration with folders on your computer eg. My Music, My Pictures
-Security Sandbox

Thats just some i can think of offhand, yes i know that you can get these for firefox as addons but i am talking about built-in features.

I'm not even going to bother downloading it. I'm sticking with Firefox. I heard Firefox 3.0 Beta is pretty good
