Automatically Load Web Pages On Start-up.
You have the option to preset selected web pages to load
automatically when you start WindowSurfer. You can start
working with a loaded page, like reading news, while the others
are being loaded in the background. This makes the best use of
your internet connection by making its full use and reducing its idle time. The
web pages are waiting to be seen by you, not the other way around.

Automatic Login To Online Accounts.
WindowSurfer can login automatically
to various web sites that require a user name
and password. For example, your email accounts, Online Bank accounts, credit-card
accounts, utility accounts, web-pages on your company's intranet, etc. While adding
a Link, just enter the login information once and you don't have to
remember it. You have the option to automatically login to that page
either on application start-up or on pressing the Load button. Your
passwords are stored on your own computer in a strongly encrypted form for maximum security.

Unique Search Interface - side-by-side search.
WindowSurfer has a unique side-by-side interface for searching the
web using Google, MSN and Yahoo search engines, all in one place. The
search results from Google/MSN/Yahoo are shown in the left-hand window and when you click
on one of the links, the web-site is shown in right-hand window. This avoids unnecessary
movement back and forth to look at the search results. WindowSurfer also enables you to move back and
forward between all search results sequentially even though the search may
have been made using different search engines.

desired web page.
