Pros

  • Chromium-based interface is familiar.
  • Media Downloader is outstanding.
  • Great customization options.

Cons

  • Not all Chrome extensions will work with 1stBrowser.
  • More work needs to be done and more features added before browser is completely viable.

1stBrowser is a viable option for those seeking an alternative to the more famous internet browsers.. Because 1stBrowser was created using Chromium, an open source code most famously used to develop the wildly popular Google Chrome browser, its interface is similar to that of its more famous cousin. Users may even sync 1stBrowser and Chrome so that bookmarks and browsing history is shared between the two programs. It is also possible to easily download these items from other widely used browsers, such as Firefox.

The benefit of using 1stBroswer over some of the bigger players in the internet browser game, however, is the program's many customizable features. 1stBrowser gives users the usual options, such as adding extensions, editing the homepage, and choosing the startup screens. The visual customization options are what really set 1stBroswer apart, though. These options include changing the background images, desktop icon, and colors that make up the entire visual experience involved in using a browser. While the options within each of these categories are currently limited, the creators of 1st Browser are working on new custom visualization options all the time.

One of the best features offered by 1stBrowser is the program's highly functional Media Downloader. This tool gives users the option of downloading any media files they find on the web when they hover over the link. Either the entire video file or just the audio may be downloaded, depending on the user's preference. Additionally, the user may immediately add filters to the media that is being downloaded.
