The Synama Bowser is a Web Browser based on the InternetExplorer API. It is not however, by any means just another Internet Explorer, but simply uses its instruction set! Why use the Synama Browser: Pages build extremely fast in the Browser window (several at the same time usable windows in one), it is simple to use and supports Java, Javascript, VB Script, as well as ICQ Pager. It even supports Web tips and bookmark administration.
- smaller and faster
- html-sniffer
- whois
- tracer/router
- pinger
- some bugs have been fixed

emalamis: Do it!
Net Captor is a great browser, but it's a little slow and unstable. Keep it light, give it a catchy name, and it'll get around and you'll eventually get an offer to buy you out for 6 figures. OK, Where's my beta? :-)

This browser is horrible. I could make a browser like this in a matter of minutes!! Let me ask you people a question, if I made a browser that had a toolbar (Similar to ie's but simpler) that did basicly all the stuff ie did but with tabs interface and an option to block popups? Who would use it? This browser would be Completly freeware.. I have been wondering how its popularity would get around cuase ive been tinkering with ie's api and its very simple..

qwaszx: yes, but considering that Windows manages memory as a much larger entity than actually fits in physical memory, some of that data sits on disk. This might suggest that organizing that data in the most optimal way might speed up paging operations, but the reason I think these programs are useless is that (a) you'd think MS would be doing a pretty good job of managing memory already and (b) the memory this program takes up plus the CPU time used to actually organize/degragment the memory can't possibly be worth it. Just my two cents. I can't really say because I haven't tried it nor do I really want to.
