NetCaptor makes browsing the Web easier

Most WinInfo subscribers are probably familiar with NeoPlanet, the firstnon-Microsoft Web browser to use the Internet Explorer engine while adding ahost of new features, such as a skin-able user interface. But NeoPlanetisn't for everyone, and I found myself tiring of it quickly. This weekend,however, I ran into a new IE-backed browser called NetCaptor that'sdefinitely worth a look. A free version, which utilizes a small add sectionis available for download while you can purchase the "Pro" version (sansads) for only $20.

NetCaptor looks like a turbo version of Internet Explorer 2.0, though ituses the IE 5.0 or 4.0 engine (you must have IE 4 or 5 installed). But whatreally sets NetCaptor apart is its browser tab interface, which opens newbrowser windows within the same frame as the main NetCaptor window, insteadof in separate windows. NetCaptor utilizes tabs along the bottom of thewindow to make switching between open documents easy. And it really works:They've even implemented their own type of "Explorer bar" interface, withFavorites, History, and Search all available simultaneously, which is muchnicer than the way IE works.

I recommend checking out NetCaptor today. The 990 KB download isn't painful,and its wealth of features may very well prove irresistible. You can findout more at the NetCaptor Web site
