Well it is a good one.. since it seems to me this is a Maxthon clone ;) it has almost same features, very similar ui (even dialogs and menu order look very familiar) and pretty much same functionality. Even versions are close (acoo= 1.56, maxthon=1.59) however, it introduces new stuff, like the page analyzer, which has tools for web developers or power users. There are not many plugins though, but add killer works great. I do recommend it since it could grow richer in tools and plugins.

Avant and Maxthon should watch out for this one. Very attractive user interface, packed with features. I am getting hooked to this browser even though Maxthon is my default browser. Sometimes I launch Acoo and sometimes Maxthon. It's got almost all the features other browsers have and I am sure it will exceed them. Features are being added every time. For example Super Drag and Drop was implemented, "Add URL Here" on top of each Favorites was recently added and "Open All URLs", ad-blocker is effective. The author is friendly and reported bugs get fixed!! The way the tab bar look is very professional and stylish. Keep up the good work. 5 out of 5.

There are several Internet Explorer freeware clones available and their standard feature is that they offer tabbed browsing. In terms of its features Acoo is only fair and other freeware clones ... offer more features for the power user.

Sluggish-No skins-acts really funky plus add a registry entry for InstantGet(a shareware download manager) and if you remove that then uninstall acoo it puts it back in-Hkey current user/software/InstantGet... why I do not know -just say no to Achoo I mean Acoo Browser. Makes me wheeze!!

I downloaded Acoo and loved it - really easy to use and the interface is a little like Office 2003 i.e. when you hover over a button the background turns blue with a blue line around. BUT when I restarted my computer all my settings were reset back to the default (as first installed). The buttons are windows-style so you shouldn't have a problem trying to work out what they do. The "set as default browser" option didn't work for me either. Other than that its a great browser. Naturally, as its not one of the more widely-used ones (IE, Netscape, Firefox, Opera) you won't get support from Internet Keyboards etc BUT other than that I like it.

I really like the Acoo Browser (if they had just added an 'h'). The default ad blocking works very well to remove ads from web pages and thusly speed up surfing. The pop-up blocker is a little aggressive out of the box, so you may want to reset it. A good looking browser too. It is a work in progress by obviously dedicated designers as it has been updated 3 times since I first downloaded it four weeks ago. I am looking forward to more updates as it presently crashes under Windows 98SE, but runs perfectly on Windows 2000. I would also like to see them take advantage of the skins feature, which presently is empty. Be forewarned that the Acoo Browser takes a while to start up. If you double clicked on it and think nothing is happening, give it a minute, depending on your computer. I am looking forward to more improvements to the Acoo Browser and especially being able to run it on my Windows 98 machine without it crashing. An excellent job though as it is.
