Zeta MiniBrowser

There’s probably not a day that goes by without you visiting at least one web page. Needless to say that this is done through a web browser, and you surely have at least one installed. It doesn’t mean that popular ones meet all your demands, and in case you’re actually looking for something lightweight, Zeta MiniBrowser can be your choice.

Clean, straightforward design

Although you’re first taken through a setup process, the application doesn’t really bind itself to your system, and doesn’t make any system registry entry changes, so you can just as well deploy it on a USB flash drive to use on the go. Just make sure that the target PC is equipped with .NET Framework to ensure functionality.
The application doesn’t come with a shiny interface to make it stand out from the crowd, and offers all of its features through a clean, simple interface. All necessary controls are found in the upper toolbar, where there’s also the URL field used as basic input to land on pages of choice.

Leaves much to be desired

Navigation controls allow you to go back and forth through pages, stop, or reload a page. Additionally, you can view the source code of the selected page for in-depth analysis. There’s no direct search field to quickly look up items of interest, but the application does provide instant access to Google, as well as Amazon.
Unfortunately, you might end up looking for alternatives from the first few seconds of browsing. Speed isn’t particularly a thing, and you often enough encounter script errors. There’s no tab support, although you can have multiple instances active at a time.

In conclusion

Taking everything into account, Zeta MiniBrowser is, indeed, as the name states, a mini web browser. Even though it’s not really packed with a great variety of features, such as tab support, or bookmarks manager, the thing which affects practicality the most is the poor support for modern types of content.
