Dark Fire Browser

Dark Fire Browser is a small web browser that can be installed on all Windows flavors out there. In addition to browsing capabilities, the utility comes packed with a text editor and MP3 player.

Portable running mode

You can take advantage of the tool’s portability status and run it on the target system by simply opening the executable file. In addition, you can keep it stored on pen drives so you can carry it with you all the time.

Browsing capabilities

Dark Fire Browser gives you the possibility to navigate on the Internet in a multi-tabbed environment. The GUI is quite simplistic and integrates only a few browsing controls which do not impress much in terms of their functionality.
The program helps you go to the next or previous webpage, refresh the current website, stop the loading process, jump to the homepage, and access several predefined online platforms, such as Myspace, YouTube, and Facebook. Searches on the Internet cannot be performed directly from the address bar.
We have tested the application on Windows 8.1 Pro and noticed that it eats up CPU and memory resources while surfing on the Internet so it may affect the overall performance of your computer. It loads pages quickly.
On the downside, there’s no support for advanced parameters, so you are not allowed to create bookmarks, browse on the Internet in an anonymous way, sync data across multiple devices, install plugins, and keep a history with accessed websites, just to highlight a few options.

Text editor and MP3 player

The integrated text editor features a simple interface and allows you to import/export data from/to RTF file format, undo or redo your actions, perform basic clipboard tasks (cut, copy, paste), select or clear all text with a single click, as well as alter the text in terms of font, font style, size, and color.
The MP3 player reveals a minimalist layout and lets you make use of basic audio playback controls for helping you adjust the volume, play, pause or stop the current selection, and go to the next or previous song in the list.

Final remarks

All in all, if you are looking for basic features in a web browser, you can give Dark Fire Browser a try and see what it can do for you. The lack of advanced options makes it suitable especially for less experienced users.
