  • Stop crashing your browsers!

    Mar 26 '00
    Pros: open multiply browser windows within on aplication
    Cons: banner ads

    Summary: NetCaptor is what a browser should be. Ok first it is not truly a browser, because it needs the back end engine of either Internet Explorer or Netscape to run it, but It still blows them away with their cool features. First, you can download the ... read more

  • Highly Recommended

    Oct 26 '02
    Pros: Integrated Ad/Popup blocker, easy to browse with tabs, fast
    Cons: Takes time to turn off pop-up blocker when you need to get a pop-up

    Summary: NetCaptor is a very easy program to use. Its best features are an integrated ad-blocker and pop-up blocker. Adding ads to block is extremely easy. I have blocked over 46000 ads since I've used the program. The pop-up blocker is also very efficient at ... read more

  • I'm happy every morning!!

    Dec 11 '00
    Pros: 4
    Cons: 4

    Summary: Before I meet NetCaptor, I did not believe multi-browser programs and MetaBrowsing services like Octopus.com. Why? Crashing!! Too slow!! To see my page on the octopus and onepage etc., I had to kill the time in my desk. But Netcpator is different. ... read more

  • Stop Crashing with IE

    Apr 18 '00
    Pros: Prevents Computer Crashes
    Cons: Doesn't support some plug-ins

    Summary: My problem was confirmed when my Norton CrashGuard told me I've crashed my computer 243 times because of Internet explorer. Most of these crashes resulted from having too many IE windows opened. I downloaded NetCaptor and at first didn't use it because ... read more

  • Netcaptor: Quit Crashing, Start Surfing!

    Mar 31 '00
    Pros: Multiple windows open at once, search functions, no popup windows, grouping available
    Cons: Not on netscape yet

    Summary: I cannot even begin to count the number of times I have locked up my computer due to having too many windows open (crashing my browsers). I often will have three, four or more Internet windows open at one time, especially if I am researching or ... read more

  • Netcaptor works!

    Mar 18 '00
    Pros: reliability, large number of simultaneous open sites
    Cons: none that aren't being corrected in the new beta versions

    Summary: I have been consistently happy with Netcaptor. Almost never hangs up or crashes (vs. frequent problems with other browsers, given the intensive browsing I do over a slow connection with an older machine). My favorite feature is called Captorgroups, ... read more

  • Not Just Tabs

    Mar 17 '00
    Pros: Tabs, customization, flyswat, Popup Captor, Captor Groups, and more
    Cons: The ads, but I can live with them.

    Summary: NetCaptor is the best browser add-on I have ever used! I love the tabbed interface, and so does almost everyone I know. However, it seems many people overlook NetCaptor's many, many other features. To begin with, I would just like to say ... read more

  • THE BEST!

    Mar 13 '00
    Pros: Multiple page viewing, Captorgroups, and a million other wonderful features!
    Cons: Only that not everyone is using it!

    Summary: I've been using NetCaptor since before it was "NC", when it was SimulBrowse. I loved it then, but this just keeps getting better. NC5.04 was great, but in the alpha/beta testing of NC5.50, it's been even better. Stilesoft has made one of the ... read more

  • The Best IE Add-On

    Feb 11 '00
    Pros: Original Idea Add-on, efficient
    Cons: Adware

    Summary: Have Internet Explorer but wish there was more to it? Do you visit a lot of sites and sometimes all at the same time? Well with Napcaptor, the days of having a million browser windows crowding your taskbar are over. Netcaptor uses a nice feature of tabs ... read more

  • Tabs, Not Extra Windows

    Jan 26 '00
    Pros: Cancels Annoying Pop-up Windows, Organized
    Cons: None

    Summary: NetCaptor is an alternative browser that uses Internet Explorer as its engine, but adds much more functionality. The most interesting (and useful) facet of NetCaptor is that no matter how many browser windows you open, they are all contained in the ... read more

  • FINALLY!!

    Jan 21 '00
    Pros: Finally a browser for the impatient attention deficit dissordered.
    Cons: No all advantage yet

    Summary: Why is this the only browser that does this? Netcaptor used TABS!!! oh happy day indeed. If you have a broad band connection to the internet or simply like to surf everywhere at once or even if you just hate pop up windows....Netcaptor is for you, in ... read more

  • Pass for newer computers

    Jan 15 '00
    Pros: prevents new windows opening, they are internal windows in the program
    Cons: kills backspace feature and others

    Summary: I gave it a shot, only to prevent those dumb pop-up windows (more on that later), but I found it to be more inconvenient than helpful on my new computer with plenty of RAM. I doesn't stop pop-up windows from happening, they just don't get in ... read more

  • I need it!

    Dec 08 '99
    Pros: multi-paned browsing, no popups, captorgroups, options for everything
    Cons: built on IE, Yahoo! Companion and all "Explorer Bars" do not work

    Summary: I love NetCaptor. Having an ancient (relatively) computer with minimal RAM meant that I was limited to a maximum of two open browser windows... and even that was pushing it. For a "dedicated" web freak such as myself that was an entirely ... read more

  • Why use IE when NetCaptor is Here?

    Dec 07 '99
    Pros: Replaces IE, allows multiple websites to be open at the same time
    Cons: Ads.

    Summary: A while ago, I switched from Internet Explorer to the newest entry, NetCaptor. NetCaptor isn't really a browser, but is an add-on which uses the IE base, it's really a shell. NetCaptor utilizes tabs at the bottom of the screen which all can contain ... read more

  • For the Serious Surfer

    Nov 30 '99
    Pros: Tabs, Captor Groups
    Cons: Some bugs not worked out yet

    Summary: Netcaptor is a great new browser that builds on the Internet Explorer foundation. But this isn't just a decorated IE5. Netcaptor offers tabs, a feature which allows you to surf mulitple sites at the same time. The number of tabs you can open is ... read more
