A very charming Browser when it was up-to-date I am sure, but it still has unique capabilities that are worth looking into. It is huge on TV and Radio shortcuts, tho now some are out-of-date. It has the capability to open several search engine searches at once, and page scraping abilities amongst others. Non-caching system.

Very nice browser, But sadly very outdated (Chromium v.74). That may be a security risk.

Fast, beautiful, customisable, original.

What is The Classic Browser?

The Classic Browser uses the Chromium renderer to give you a faster, safer web browser by using its own interface and number-crunching routines.

The interface is certainly classic almost giving you an AOL or Netscape, old-school feel. The buttons have a dated fell to them, and a more minimalist approach would be better here. Three of the seven buttons I had to mouse-over to see what they were. That's OK, though, as mentioned this is using Chromium only for rendering, so things are supposed to look different. You can choose your theme, but they aren't themes as much as just different colors.

It uses a multi-search allowing you to search 12 search engines including DuckDuckGo, Google, Yahoo, Baidu, and more. You can also choose to search as many of these as you like. A select all button might be nice here, but it will open a new tab for each search engine you choose.
