September
2003 – 550 Access has launched the latest
version of its browser. The version 3.0.09 is offered for
free, as a “whole” product which can be used
as standalone software or as a complement to the 550Access
dialup service.
Besides
including host of feature upgrades and a very attractive
looking interface, the uniqueness of this browser lies in
the high degree of comfort that even a novice user enjoys
while surfing. According to John Smith, Vice President,
“The user-friendliness of the version makes it feasible
to intuitively manipulate, customize, or alter the variety
of possible controls and settings, most of them accessible
from main screen.”
Notable
features of the browser include:
- Tab-browsing,
also known as MDI (multi-document interface) enables most
organized surfing. It opens several sites and windows
within one task window. No more clutter of task bar and
confusing windows. Each window can be closed individually
or all windows can be closed simultaneously with just
one click.
- Privacy
Manager ensures complete control of privacy by
allowing users to clear any or all of the information
stored by the browser or on hard disk with a single command.
This includes history of websites viewed, cookies, list
of favorites, forms and passwords, recent documents list,
recycle bin, windows temporary folder, and more. Users
can even schedule automatic clean-up at specific times.
- Pop-up
Protection gives a smooth surfing experience.
The feature uses smart-filtering technology to efficiently
block pop-up and pop-under ads (including MSN messenger
pop-ups). Users can block all pop-ups or specify their
own settings to discriminate between desired and undesired
pop-ups.
- Speed
of browsing is enabled via Groups and Shortcut
features. Users can create groups of similar websites
and open them all at once by simply clicking on the name
of the group in the task bar. For example, one can create
a group of all news sites viewed regularly. This eliminates
the hassle of typing the name of each site individually
or missing out on viewing any particular site within any
group. Users can also create easy shortcuts to favorite
sites. This avoids the hassle of typing lengthy names
each time or annoyance of getting ‘Page not found’
messages because of mis-spelt addresses.
The
browser can be downloaded for free from the company website
www.550access.com
or from www.download.com.
