What’s New?

Browster announced Browster 1.0 for Firefox today. See our previous profile for more information on what Browster does.

From their Press Release: “SAN FRANCISCO , Calif. , August 2, 2005 - Browster, Inc. today announces
availability of its flagship product, Browster 1.0, as an extension for the Mozilla Firefox browser. Browster is the first instant-page viewing product for Firefox, providing users with the fastest way to view search results by simply by mousing over a link. With Browster’s unique Next Page feature, Firefox users can skip from result to result with zero delay. Browster users experience a faster, easier and more fun way to browse the Web. Browster 1.0 for Firefox is available now for free download from www.browster.com.

Browster pre-fetches Web pages listed in search results and includes the first instant page rendering capability. Users can then view this page, or the entire web site in the Browster window. As users browse their search links, Browster’s patent-pending LookAhead® technology displays the preview window as users roll their mouse over a link. Browster for Firefox is a revolutionary, secure, lightening fast way to preview web pages.”

We are very glad to see this release. Browster will now be permanently installed and used. Great application.

  • Wow.

    I just installed Browster. It is fast!

  • Yeah, Browster really speeds up the process of reviewing linked sites. It is a really cool idea and very well implemented.

  • thanks for posting and for the kind words about Browster. We’re really happy to be supporting Firefox. We’re now getting requests for Browstr on all platforms and all browsers - lots to do!

    interestingly our Firefox install numbers are already 1/3 of our installs (thousands per day). it’s that kind of acceptance that helps drive the Firefox community and companies like ours to support the platform. please drop me a line with any thoughts about improvements or any other ideas.

    thx

  • Scott, Thank you very much for the information. I’m surprised, but not that surprised, that 1/3 of your installs are firefox. Amazing!

    The only improvement we can think of right now is to let Archimedes Ventures invest in Browster. :-)
