One of the most important aspects of the Internet is the
experience of browsing tons of different websites right at your fingertips.
Whether you are bookmarking on Mozilla, switching between different users on
Chrome, or just simply upgrading to Internet explorer 11/Edge, the
possibilities are endless. The top browsers provide more than enough options
for you to get by with regular “Internet surfing”-related tasks. But what if
you are truly in for a thrill, too cool for the status quo or heard a thing or
two about some extra features you could use?
Check out these five specialty web browsers you probably haven't
heard of until now.
Lunascape is a specialty web browser that allows you to switch between Webkit, Trident, and Chromium frameworks. An uncommon feat that enables you to carry out page rendering tests on one window. Lunascape is not without its hassles and rough edges such as incessant crashing and a non-user friendly menu. But if you are looking for something lightweight and cross-browser testing friendly (which is a wonderful thing if you are a web developer), Lunascape is for you.
True web browsing experience lies beyond surfing static pages; video and music streaming account for a fair share of the browsing experience today. Torch is built specifically for media use. It features a torrent manager for easy download and peer-to-peer on-screen sharing. You can save YouTube videos and so much more. Torch is the browser for media-savvy users.
Maxthon is an award winning browser with an in-built cloud feature. Maxthon flaunts a unique dual-core design that runs on WebKit and Trident. Maxthon’s cloud features helps readability and easy surfing. You can find the screengrab option on the top corner which saves you some minutes of fooling around. The browser boasts over 670 million users and is available for Android and iOS. Maxthon has an ad blocker.
Stainless comes with a remarkable interface, arguably one of the best in the industry. Of other specialty web browsers, Stainless is the one created as a direct rival to Chrome. A webKit-based browser just as Google Chrome and Safari are, Stainless is also touted as the Google Chrome for Mac. One of its most impressive features is the ability to log into separate user accounts on different tabs. This means you can easily juggle between your Personal Mail and Business Mail accounts without having to log out.
Seamonkey can be described as an all inclusive Internet hub of apps. This standard browser is developed by Mozilla and comes with a host of features (user and developer alike). SeaMonkey integrates directly with your mail and houses an HTML editor and a plethora of web development tools including a Javascript debugger. SeaMonkey balances the oddities between user and developer. Whichever camp you find yourself in, this is a browser worth every click.
