Torch Browser
Torch Browser is analternative
web browser that integrates social features, video and audio
downloading via streaming and a BitTorrent client.
Based on Google Chrome –or rather, on its open-source browser project Chromium–, you'll
like Torch Browser because it combines the advantages of Chrome with
its own improvements.
A pimped-out
Chrome
Torch Browser is definitely an improvement compared to Google Chrome as
it adds new features that you would otherwise have to add as extensions.
First, Torch Browser has a client to download Torrent files.
On a separate tab, you can add a Torrent via URL or file and see how it
downloads.
Torch Browser also allows downloading video and audio via streaming.
It's simple and, although it doesn’t let you choose the quality and
format, it’s useful if you want to store these files and convert them later.
On the other hand, with Torch Browser you can share the page you are
viewing by clicking the Share button, compatible with Twitter and Facebook.
Other interesting features are the option to share the name of songs and
groups that you are listening through Torch Music, and the options
to search something on Google, Wikipedia or YouTube byselecting a word or
phrase and dragging it to the right side of Torch Browser.
Chrome on the
outside, Torch on the inside
Torch Browser should offer the same quality as Google Chrome, such as
speed and low resource consumption. However, since it includes its
own functions, the performance of Torch is slowed down, especially when using
the BitTorrent feature regardless of your Internet connection.
When you open Torch Browser you think you're using Google Chrome.
Indeed, it’s very similar, but the added features and functions make
Torch different: some are subtle as the search function while others can be
accessed from the address toolbar, such as the Share, Media and
Torrent buttons.
Improving
Chrome
Is Torch Browser a good alternative to Google Chrome? The answer is yes.
There is still a long way to go, like improving the resource
consumption of the BitTorrent client and the media download
function but, for now, Torch Browser works well and offers the same
advantages as Chrome, plus some interesting additions.
