Video On Line Browser -- This multilingual browser from Italy
offers a first for web users -- over eighteen languages are supported
including Czeck, English, French, German, Hungarian, Portugese,
Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and a whole lot more. International
netizens will likely rejoice at the multitude of languages supported,
but apart from this unique feature, the Video On Line Browser
leaves a lot to be desired. Missing features include FTP, news, mail,
and tables support; caching and option preferences, transparent gifs,
centering, and additional advanced HTML tags (font size, client
side image mapping, frames, etc.). Overall, many users will initally
be impressed with the VOL Browser, but the honeymoon will likely
be extremely brief. Compared to other web browsers, Video On
Line just doesn't match up in terms of features, speed, and overall
ease of use.
Pros: A multilingual browser with more than eighteen different
languages supported Cons: Lacks support for tables and many
other critical features, relatively slow
New: No obvious new features in v1.3
Version Reviewed: 1.3
