1. MicroSurfer 1.1
The Essential Browser Companion
MicroSurfer is the unique browser companion that navigates a direct course through the tangled Web,
and adds super speed to surfing with Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x and Internet Explorer 4.x. Micro-
Surfer’s innovative approach to navigating the Web solves the two universal problems everyone exper-
iences: waiting for Web pages to download and display, and getting lost trying to return to Web pages
with more links you want to explore.
A smarter way to surf
When you drag links from your browser and drop them into the MicroSurfer window, their content is
downloaded in the background without interrupting your surfing session. Clicking on any downloaded
link in MicroSurfer displays the Web page immediately in your browser. By separating the downloading
of Web pages from their display, MicroSurfer enables you to surf through Web pages at speeds greater
than even the fastest Internet connection. Even if you already have high-speed Internet access, such as
ISDN, DSL or through a cable modem, MicroSurfer will speed and simplify your surfing.
End click-and-wait surfing forever
MicroSurfer’s innovative approach to navigating the Web liberates you from the tiresome process of
clicking on your browser’s Back button, wasting time as pages you’ve already viewed are redisplayed,
just to get back to a Web page with more links you want to visit. Instead of tediously browsing from a
Web page one link at a time, MicroSurfer enables you to download, in one session, all the links you
want to visit, and displays their content without having to return to the Web page they came from.
With MicroSurfer, you can surf to Web pages instantly, in any order, with just a single click of your
mouse—and without having to waste time backtracking. Whether you're facing a gazillion pages of
search results, or just want to zip through a Web portal or news site, MicroSurfer is the fastest way to
explore more than one link on a Web page.
Maximizes modem bandwidth
Choking Internet traffic and slow Web-site servers can cause gaps in the flow of Web pages and other
data to your browser. MicroSurfer’s multi-session technology takes advantage of those gaps by down-
loading Web-page content from other servers while waiting for the data to arrive from the busy server.
This can more than double your overall download rates, regardless of your modem’s speed.
Choice, convenience and control
Web sites are structured like trees, with pages branching to other pages. MicroSurfer provides a key ele-
ment that’s been sorely missing from traditional models of Web surfing: context. MicroSurfer’s straight-
forward list of downloaded links provides an immediate, easily understood history of your surfing activ-
ity. You can see at a glance where you’ve been, how you got there and where you’re going, and you can
instantly return to any Web page.
Browsers are basically simple content viewers that are poorly designed for exploring multiple links on a
Web page. MicroSurfer is the essential browser companion for power users and newcomers alike be-
cause it puts you in control of where and how you want to surf the Web. All the sites you’ve visited—
especially the ones you want to visit again—are instantly available in MicroSurfer with just a click of
your mouse. MicroSurfer can be set to automatically re-download all your saved links whenever the
program is opened, and also features offline viewing.
