thats the nice thing about NetQuest , it doesnt have all the features of Internet explorer , Becuase you dont need them , we striped it down witch makes it faster loading and you can have a bunch of them open with out taking hardley any resources , we build it like Internet explorer , it will have a nice interface , yet vary vary simple to use , we didnt ad the History feature , but there will be favorites ect. , so it will be like useing Internet explorer , but quicker in some ways , it will have banner ads , but it is free for download , you can buy the version without banner ads for 3 Bucks , and you get it sent in the mail on CD , Netquest will also have a start page , just like excite or something , with search , local weather , news ect . , the Alpha Copy IS done , but it has NO interface , no banners no netquest logo , nothing and the screenshot of that is below , i will have a screenshot of Beta before it is released probilly in the next few days :)

Also some other features will be Forum and phone tech support , and of course , ALL Internet Explorer Plug ins will be 100 % compatable , and Netquest Alpha has been tested and it 100 % compatable with Windows XP and in the future we will be making a Mac version :)

Do you have an estimation of how much faster it loads or how much system resources it saves compared to other browsers?

I would personally love this, stripped down, little fuss.... Nice. ū.00, got to love that!

I like having a lot of apps/windows going at once, I feel I can do more.

I wouldn't mind being a beta tester if you need them. Does the beta test have the ads?

The Beta Testers Get Netquest 1.0 Beta Full Version ( no banners but it does not come on CD ) and when 1.1 Final Release comes out they will get that free for download ( full version no banners ) as our way of saying thanks .
The Beta Release date really was never set , but were estamateing eary next week , as for the Start page , that will not be finish untill the week after . , the week after that (or maybe a tad earyier ) will be about the time Final Release comes out .

i will have to doubble check on resources and loading time , and file size , probilly have those resaults within the next couple days .

Marko... Visual basic has a plug-in for making a browser... There better be a #### of alot of features to make it like none other. heh.
(if it wasnt made in VB my appologies)

[MarkoDaGeek]

hehe , wasnt made in visual basic , actually it was done in C ++ , and Q basic and even some Python scripting and flash went into the project , im not saying it will have alot of features , and i am not saying you have to download it ,i am just telling people its there if they want to try .
