I'm going to devote this article to browsers, but unlike previous topics of browser reviews in this topic I would like to remember the less well-known and less popular browsers. In this review, I will not talk about all the well-known Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox, Safari and Google Chrome as these browsers and so keep indisputable market leadership. To date, all the reasons for which people choose well-known browsers are a high level of security and reliability in use. But still today I want to talk about alternative browsers, namely, those who are not known to ordinary users of the Internet. Many of the alternative browsers use the "proven" browsers engine and are essentially an add-in or improved modification.
Each browser bet on a specific program concept. For example, one of the benefits of Firefox is the ability to configue using plug-in, the strength of Opera is a high page loading speed.
Of course, many users have already decided on the choice of browser to work on the Internet.
In today's review, such browsers have entered Chromeplus., Lunascape., Flock, Cometbird., SRWARE IRON.
. Although these alternatives can not compete with leaders. But, nevertheless, look at these projects still stands.
From the title of this browser, you can immediately guess what Chromeplus. Uses Google Chrome engine and is a modified chromium version. According to the developers (Jalon Zhai and Laura G.Van) in the original browser from Google, they do not like several functions. The example is uncomfortable tabs. Therefore, the chromeplus added a small, but convenient option - closing the double-click of the mouse tab.
In Chromeplus, control support was added using mouse gestures (gestures), such a type of control is considered convenient and eliminates the user from the mass of unnecessary actions. Browser settings, including learning mouse gestures, is performed either in a separate parameter window, as in the usual Google Chrome, or directly in the active tab of the browser (CTRL + SHIFT + C key). True, gesturing options themselves cannot be chosen - you can only correlate the existing gestures with those or other teams. You can "draw" in the browser window by holding the right mouse button.
Another browser feature is associated with incorrect display of sites whose code is optimized for Internet Explorer browser. If you look at the address bar, you can see a special icon that shows the page browsing mode. By default, this is a "native" CHROMEPLUS mode. If you click on this icon, the page will be displayed in Internet Explorer mode.
I also like in chromeplus this is what is the ability to quickly create new tabs. It is enough to capture the cursor any link on the page and pull it up to the tabs area, and the dedicated link will open on a new tab, and its position among other pages will be indicated by the arrow.
So from the seinitions of this browser in relation to Google Chrome, you can emphasize the advanced context menu. For convenience, special commands have been added to the context menu to use different download managers - Netants, Orbit Downloader, QQ Xuanfeng, Flashget3, Flashgetmini, Netx, WebThunder, Xunlei.
Honestly, this browser is not very stable, but I hope more people in the development of this project will take part in the future and will be remedied.
Download the latest version Chromeplus. You can at this address.
Feature that highlights the browser Lunascape. From others this is its compatibility of the browser and the code of various Web pages.
one of the problems encountered by browser developers, as well as Web programmers, is the compatibility of the code code with the engine of the program used to view the Web pages. Developers decided the task very simply - integrated into the browser at once the three most popular port visualization engine. The Trident (Internet Explorer) engine is integrated into it, as well as GECKO (Firefox) and WebKit (Google Chrome and Safari).
A universal approach to the visualization of pages will undoubtedly be to interest those who are engaged in Web programming.
If you decide to download and install this browser, keep in mind that there are 2 types installation File Browser - Standard Installer (10 MB) and Extended (Full Installer (34 MB)). If you install the Standard type, the default movement will be installed Trident, and engines Gecko. and WebKit. will be installed in the form of additional plugins.
Distribution extended larger size, but it already includes these modules. To change the browser core used, you must use a special reference in the lower left corner of the program window that opens the list of available engines.
LUNASCAPE has a built-in RSS news read utility, a browser support for most supplements intended for Internet Explorer, and also works with some extensions for Firefox. The browser supports replaceable shells (skins). LUNASCAPE is possible simultaneously viewing all downloaded pages. To do this, switch from the site viewing mode in the form of tabs in the window view mode of Web pages. It is also worth noting a very convenient management of open tabs. Unlike other browsers, LUNASCAPE allows not only to close the current tab, all tabs or all except the current, but also all tabs located to the right of the selected or left of the specified cursor position. Double-clicking on the tab blocks it.
In addition, the browser has a huge number of functions and auxiliary utilities for work on the Internet. By default, the browser contains about hundreds of integrated tools - from blocking blocks to the news ticker. Lunascape makes it possible to disable graphics, video, to prohibit scripts on the pages, disable Java and ActiveX components.
Browser Flock. This is one of the types of modification. browser Firefox.That is, it works on the MOZZILA engine (GECKO). The main advantage of this program is that its developers made a bet on integration with social networks and online services. (Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, Flickr and others)
you can connect any additions for Firefox to the program. Flock is very conveniently implemented to manage favorite links. Each add to each add to the address bookmark can be assigned certain tags. Due to this, the search procedure is facilitated in favorites. In addition, there is one small program in the program, but a very useful command - when you press the Ctrl + Shift + D keys, all open tabs are added to your favorites.
The program creates a very convenient integration with mail services. When filling out data on the site mail Service, let's say gmail, happens automatic registration This account in the program. On the Flock toolbar you can always quickly check mail by clicking the button and selecting the appropriate command.
The browser contains the pop-up blocking block, in its settings you can easily turn off the schedule, limit the use of cookies.
Flock has a special tool to memorize passwords (as in Firefox). Passwords are conveniently browsed using a special manager.
If you have your blog, you probably have to try Flock as a special tool is being built into it that simplifies new messages. This tool is a simple HTML-code editor with the possibility of inserting images, text formatting, etc. Popular blogging services are supported as: Wordpress.com, LiveJournal, Blogger, Xanga, Blogsome and others ...
Another convenient browser option is the possibility of enhancing a selected area to the virtual clipboard, with the preservation of not only text, but also images, links and other web-page items. Due to this, you can quickly save notes, as well as use material from sites to publish in your blogs.
At the top of the window, you can open a special MEDIA panel (opens using the same button on the Flock toolbar). On this panel in the form of ribbons, pictograms of photographs and videos downloaded to various services such as YouTube. or Flickr.. Thus, directly from the browser can be monitored from which the latest clips and photographs are laid out by users on the network. Also right from this panel you can search for multimedia content by key query.
If you decide to install FLOCK, then the English version is recommended as the Russian retreats from the current version of the program.
During the installation process, the program automatically finds other browsers installed in the system and offers to import the basic settings of these applications.
Cometbird browser, too, made on the Firefox engine and is very similar to it. Unlike Firefox, COMETBIRD is default the ability to download online video and sound, as well as flash files.
In the program, you can view the sketches of all open applications (in Firefox, by default, you can only view the list of pages being viewed). You can quickly create new tabs using a double mouse clicking next to the open tabs, there is also a "quick" closing tabs, the same double-click.
This browser has support to synchronize bookmarks using online service. Bitcomeet.. In order to use this browser's ability to use this option, it is necessary to undergo an easy registration procedure on the BitComet Services page. The browser allows you to automatically synchronize tabs every five minutes.
Via Cometbird. Significantly simplifies the task of tracking recent versions software. In order to update this or that application in a timely manner, there is no need to spend your time and track the appearance of new releases. The main menu of the program generates a list of applications installed on a computer, for which a new version is already available. The commands of this list automatically redirect the user to the page, from where you can download one or another program.
It's not a secret than popular browser Moreover, the most kinders are trying to find in vulnerabilities in its system of safety, which would then use the holes found to create malicious abduction schemes confidential information.
Browser developers SRWARE IRON. They took the code Google Chrome. And they tried to eliminate weak points, making it more reliable in terms of security.
When working in Google Chrome, a unique user ID is generated using which, it was possible to track a person on the Internet. In Srware Iron, this disadvantage was eliminated. In addition, SRWare Iron does not remember the program installation time, while in Google Chrome such a "stamp" is used. If you enter the text in the address bar, it is automatically sent to Google to search for suitable sites. In this developers also saw the threat of confidentiality and excluded this function from their browser. The next "appendix", which was deleted the developers of the SRWARE IRON, the sending option to Google messages about failures. In addition, the programmers have disabled the background update function, which occupied system resources. The authors of the project also eliminated the ability to track the browser's open pages.
Superior browser option supports topics, can synchronize bookmarks with Google Docs server. What concerns additional features Programs, then it is necessary to note the higher productivity and the speed of the browser. This became possible after the developers integrated into it the most fresh versions WebKit Web Engine, as well as JavaScript. In addition, Iron has a built-in advertising blocker, which is configured using a configuration file.

Yandex browser - corporate browser from the company Yandex.Created on the basis of Chromium. Despite the seeming simplicity and similar to the main fellow, the program with a detailed study is very different from chrome browsers (the most in my opinion the browser is the browser from the Chromium family) and has useful features, for example, the accelerated download of pages at a slow connection (used on the basis of Opera Turbo technology - I do not know, probably, the Norwegians shared it?), the ability quick access To the most commonly visited pages, the presence of a smart search line, reliable protection against viruses (thanks to the built-in yandex technology SAFEBROWSING and Kaspersky Lab system), Integrated translator (still supported by nine languages, but constantly complemented), easy transfer of settings and bookmarks from other browsers, etc. From the advantages: quite a lot for the chromium browser. Of the disadvantages: if you have less than 2 GB of RAM, it is better not even put it, because all 2-3 GB will exist and do not suppress. Put better opera or slimboat.

Create a new browser today as never just - there is a chromium that can be fed up and add any functionality. Companies do this on the same logic, as Tulbara once was created, is just an attempt to knock down their brand to the user and make it use other products of the company. But when they make independent developers, the product is aiming to say their "mu" on the actual static browser market. Do not think - I do not believe that you will go to one of the indie browsers. But to see what they offer, I wonder if not?
Go or not?
When it seems that everything is already said in some area, everything is already said, attempts to do something differently breatht on the Spirit: first you think is wildness and utopia, but as a result you begin to look at the market leaders. For the same reason in the December issue] [we talked about such "strange" mobile operating systems, like Tizen, Firefox OS or Maemo. Therefore, in my opinion, when we argue about alternative browsers, it incorrect to raise a question: to move or not. No, you definitely do not go. But you can try to repeat the interested functionality in your favorite browser - for this in each case I tried to choose the appropriate extensions.
The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a browser, closely interacting with popular social networks, long ago excuses the minds of the developers. There was a lot of attempts to create a similar combine, but perhaps the company Rockmelt coped. No wage could receive serious financial investments.
The project of the same name was launched in 2009 and immediately enlisted support for one of the founders of Netscape. A year later, the first beta version, built on CHROMIUM sources, in a short time she managed to collect a decent amount of fans. The main chicken Rockmelt was unobtrusive. Integration with Facebook and Twitter was implemented as an additional functionality, and not an annoying addition.
Perhaps Rockmelt was waiting for a bright future, but in 2012 the developers turned the desktop version and focused on creating an application for iOS. Despite sharp changes, the mobile application was born quickly and turned out to be quite interesting.
So, we offer a solution, interesting primarily by the interface. The browser management focuses around the only input row. It is at the same time a targeted string and a navigator for various groups of content. For example, you can choose a certain topic and immediately get a pack of previe new posts, it is appropriate. The presence of additional gestures allows you to perform a number of operations (shaking, husky) with one click or squeak.
Thus, along with the browser, we get the content generator. At the same time, we have the opportunity to fairly easily influence the conditions for issuing materials. Just go to any site and click on Pimpe Follow. The resource is added to the list of observed (RSS tape is taken into account), and new materials will fall into personal news feed.
Extensions:
- Content generator. Plugin for Google Chrome Feedly;
- New materials by category. Plugin for Google Chrome: StumbleUpon;
- Interaction with social networks (publication, ball and so on). Plugin for Google Chrome: Buffer.
SRWARE IRON.
Project audience: Lovers of the theory of conspiracies
The first google chrome releases (however, the Chromium) have made a lot of noise. Users paid attention not only to an interesting interface and speed of work, but also a couple of points license AgreementBlow in privacy.
After that, a boom of articles on the topic "Big Brother is watching you," as a result, forced Google to revise its ambitions. Despite this, in Chrome there are still several functions, one way or another violating the user's personal space.
For example, everyone knows that immediately after setup Google Chrome generates a unique identifier that is transmitted to the company's server. The "Proposal" function acts in the same way. All entered data is sent to Google in order to issue search suggestions. Approximately in the same way there is a reasoning about other nightmares: the background service of updates, sending reports with errors and other things.
Solve all voiced problems are ready SRWare. In fact, it is the same Google Chrome, but with a cut-off language. It does not transmit any information to Google Server, and also brings some pleasant chips:
- autonomous installer;
- built-in advertising blocker;
- ability to change User-Agent.
Verdict: The decision primarily for adherents of the theory of conspiracy. Additional features The browser is a bit, and they are all implemented using the appropriate extensions. As a result, it turns out that all advantages are reduced only to providing additional level of privacy.
Coolnovo.
Project audience: Web developers, enthusiasts
Another project that has grown out of the Fork Chromium, COOLNOVO is finding favorably from such alternatives. First, the developers from the Middle Kingdom put large-scale goals, and not just create another clone with a pair-troika additional extensions. Secondly, they position their solution as a complete replacement of Google Chrome. The idea of \u200b\u200bsuch a decision managed to conquer the hearts of users, and the browser himself received a number of awards.
One of the most interesting and useful features is Tab. My main activity is partly related to the development of web applications, and this implies the need to test if the layout is displayed correctly in browsers using different engines for rending. IE Tab simplifies testing process in Internet Explorer. It eliminates the need to run a separate copy of IE, but allows one click to change the engine used for rending.
Separate attention also deserves gesture management. At one time, I used to use such a functionality in Opera, and I must say that the sales is not worse in Coolnovo.
On the inviolability of personal space, developers adhere to the same views as the guys from the project SRWARE IRON. All secret transfer of information on the company servers are cut under root.
From other most interesting features worth noting:
- instant translation of pages to other languages \u200b\u200b(through Google Translate.);
- creating screenshots of a page or dedicated area;
- fast cleaning of history;
- separate space bar to accommodate frequently used widgets and extensions;
- advertising blocker.
Verdict: Coolnovo was for a long time The leader among alternative assemblies based on Chromium. Today, he continues to keep positions and still remains a good solution for users who want from the box to get a pumped browser. It only grows up that recently Coolnovo has become less common to update. If so go further, then sooner or later, a competitor in the face of Chrome will throw him out from the distance.
Extensions:
- Fast and flexible cleaning of history, cookies and other network activity files. Plugin for Google Chrome Click & Clean Click & Clean;
- Reduce references. Plugin for Google Chrome URL Shortener;
- Gesture management. Plugin for Google Chrome: CRXMOUSE or GESTURES FOR CHROME;
- Reading mode (without displaying pictures and unnecessary layout elements). Plugin for Google Chrome: IReader or Clearly;
- Button for quick subscription to RSS. Plugin for Google Chrome: RSS Subscription Extension;
- Super machine. Plugin for Google Chrome: Super Drag;
- Translator. Plugin for Google Chrome: Google Translate.
Maxthon.
Project audience: Lovers "all inclusive"
Maxthon is one of those projects that have survived the second birth. For the first time he saw the light at the beginning of zero under the pseudonym myie. Then he was a comfortable wrapper for IE donkey and a number of useful functions. He had a built-in download manager, tabs instead of individual windows and other utility.
When the Firefox boom began, and later Google Chrome, myie was forced to go to the shadow on overhaul. Total Richtovka returned it with a new name, updated set of functions and a completely different person.
Today Maxthon looks more like a powerful Internet center than just a browser. Under the hood of the charity hoses, already two engines - WebKit and Trident (used in Internet Explorer). Moreover, in contrast to most of these solutions, Maxthon is able to independently determine the pages for which the use of Trident is more preferably (as a rule, these are old sites). I specifically took out one old project from the storage room, adapted to view in IE, and tried to watch it Maxthon. Thille thinking, the charity immediately switched to the display in the retrorement and dereteden the page using Trident. In addition to simultaneous work with two engines, the strongest sides of Maxthon make up their own cloud and the availability of versions under mobile platforms (Android, iOS). Own tucca not only allows you to store various small information such as visits history, list open pages and such things, but also quite fit for storing files.
For example, I was very pleased with the ability to save files from a web page with one click in the cloud. This feature is most profitable when working on a mobile phone / tablet. On this utility, Maxthon does not end, but soon just begin. Among them:
- signs support;
- sUPERDROP function that simplifies the interaction with the browser interface in the absence of a mouse;
- advertising blocker;
- fully recycled application interface (not another clone Chrome);
- simultaneous processing of search results from several search servers;
- view pages in reading mode (without extra information);
- saving video from YouTube;
- turning off the sound on any page;
- simultaneously viewing multiple tabs in one window;
- download manager;
- own extension store;
- setting arbitrary update time open pages;
- night surfing mode. When activated this regime Maxthon darkens the bright pages background, thereby reducing the eye load;
- increased performance and much more.

Chromium became the father of a set of wanders based on WebKit. It is the foundation of almost every new browser, and it is hardly possible to shake his dominant position.
So, you probably already know that it is on this project that all new items are running around before getting into Google Chrome. Support for new HTML5-chips, fixing terrible bugs, interface novelties - All this is first obtained by Chromium users. Alas, the frequency of updates has to pay stability. Large problems that do not allow working normally with the browser are rarely, but aptive.
Select some original interface chips or it is difficult enough, as they mostly represent the implementation of the new HTML5 features and are relevant for web developers, and not simple mortals.
Nevertheless, a number of differences capable of interest simple userChromium still has. For example:
- there is no shipment of error reports;
- the RLZ identifier is not transmitted to the company servers;
- there is no Updater hanging in the background;
- only open and free media formats are supported;
- performance is very high.
Verdict: Special google version Chrome for enthusiasts and guys. All the newest appears here, and the named groups of users will definitely have to do. Simple death chromium is unlikely to suit, since this product is primarily for testing. Yes, and there are few users who thirs for the first to test, say, Battery API.
Avant Browser.
Project audience: Web developers
The priority goal of developers Avant Browser - provide users with an easy way to combine the operation of the engines within a single application. It would seem that the task is not from the lungs, but looking at Avant Browser, you are convinced of the opposite. The developers not only were able to collect all the popular engines under one wrap, but also invented an easy way to switch between them. Changing the rendering engine is performed in a couple of clicks with the mouse.
At this, the supere functions end, and remain typical for such solutions:
- simple cloud storagecapable of keeping RSS subscriptions, favorites, passwords and other information;
- advertising / pop-up blocker;
- creating screenshots of pages;
- simple implementation of gesture management;
- creation for alias pages, with which you can quickly go to frequently visited sites;
- built-in RSS reader;
- mail client.
Verdict: AVANT BROWSER cannot be considered as a full-fledged application for everyday use. It is more specialized solution capable of serving good service Web developers, but not an ordinary user. There are simply no other interesting features in Avant Browser.
