Runecats Explorer

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffOctober 16, 2010If you want a streamlined way to surf the Web, Runecats Explorer offers a sleek Web browser that keeps the clutter to a bare minimum.The interface sports a clean, streamlined design that won't hold any surprises for users who've worked with browsers before. The small command buttons at the top are the same as most standard Web browsing programs, forward, backward, stop, home, favorites and print are all available. A generous URL space is provided below. One unique aspect of Runecats is its separate box to generate a fresh tab. Off to the far right, it also deletes tabs, and this may be the only learning curve users have to get past. Unlike Firefox, there is no X on the individual tab, which may cause unnecessary closing of the wrong tabs. Instead of adding another toolbar to the browsing window, Runecats tucks settings for page setup, pop-ups, and a few other items on a single options menu so they don't take up room on the browser window.Overall, Runecats operated intuitively and quickly, and while it may not offer any groundbreaking new features, it's streamlined view will be enough for some users tired of endless toolbars. We recommend this browser for anyone looking for something simple and basic that still treads through the Internet well.
