Browster is a great plugin for Internet Explorer (IE). Actually, it is a software, a browser, based on web page retrieval, prefetching and display technology. Its “search engine integration” feature, makes itself a useful tool for IE users that allows users to look at the preview of a Web page before they click and enter the site. It shows user a copy of a Web page in milliseconds in a new “box”.

When browsing any web site, just press “Alt” button and mouseover any link; a copy of that web page will apperar in a box. Not only a image preview, you can also click link and run any applications on the page in the preview box. Plus, “back” and “forward” buttons.

Also its ‘icon feature’ puts an icon before links on some common web sites so you can just mouseover that icon to run Browster. This feature works on many popular web sites – including search engines like Google and Yahoo, e-commerce sites like Amazon and eBay. You can preview each result page before entering.

For example, you search in Google, Browster puts its own icon in front of every result title. When you mouseover any of them, it opens a box on the page and shows the copy of that web site you mouseover. Also there is “Previous” and “Next” buttons on the Browster so by using them, you can see the copy of next result on Google.

Browster 1.0 does not support all browsers, but IE. You should have IE 5 or later to run it but as Scott Milener, the CEO, said it will support other browsers in the future.
