I have had Netcaptor Pro version for a long time. Although my primary browser is Opera, I still use Netcaptor often. It has a ton of options which make it quite configurable. For those that dont want to pay the full price there is usually a pop up that comes up from time to time for a special offer of $14.95 which is worth it.

I have used NetCaptor since 2001 and it is a great browser I have tried the others but always come back to NetCaptor. As for price it is my understanding there is a free version available now.

This is a very good browser, with a healthy set of popular features. The only thing I can't figure is, why would anyone pay for it? I doubt, but of course I'm not 100% certain, that no one uses ALL of its available features, which is probably true of any browser. The point is, there isn't a single feature or group of features that can't be found in one of the many solid, stable, free browsers. I'm a serious proponent of not paying for any software function if the same or better functionality can be had for free. Years ago, when NetCaptor was one of the few really worthy browsers available as alternatives to IE and Netscape, it might have made sense, but today too many of it's features have been implemented in free software.

I have used NetCaptor since 1999, and this version is awesome with it´s new method of stopping pop-up windows. Add an excellent interface, and a boatload of features that you will NEVER see in Internet Explorer, and you have a top-notch browser!

If you use Internet Explorer and need to search multiple websites, there is no other browser to use. Opera, Netscape and few others are close but Netcaptor can stop the pop-up ads and the tabbed windows are the easiest way to navigate the web.
