Netcaptor 5.02

Netcaptor 5.02 Download (990 Kb) Looking for a browser to complement your unique web browsing habits? Or maybe a web browser that includes a few extra functions that IE or Netscape should have included but didn't? Well Netcaptor may be just what you have been waiting for.

The main difference between Netcaptor and conventional browsers is the ability to open "tabs". What does this mean? Instead of opening another browser instance, Netcaptor opens another window, accessible through tabs at the bottom of the screen. This helps keep things organized, and reduces program clutter on the taskbar.

	This also gives you the ability to save groups of pages as one bunch. Using
the CaptorGroups menu, you can open all the pages in a group at once, and also add more pages to them later. Each tab has options to stop, refresh, or close that window, making navigation extremely simple.

One of the nicest features of Netcaptor is PopupCaptor. Visit a geocities or tripod member page and have those annoying little ad windows popup? Simply add it to the PopupCaptor with one right click and the browser will keep it's 'eyes' open for that window again, automatically closing it next time.

Besides all this, Netcaptor sports some other interesting features, including drop down search choices, customizable button bar, go button, and more. with more features and customizability options. It is a must have and a wonderful browsing tool.
