hey guys it's brandon minuman from pocket now calm and in this video we're going to talk about a new free browser that you've gotta try call netfront browser for android let's get to it so this browser is the most visually intense browser available for android just in the way that it lets you navigate between web pages it's actually quite very innovative so what we can do here is look at this zoomed out tab management view but it doesn't just show you your open tabs with this nice little carousel at the top and by the way you can have up to eight tabs open and it shows you how many you have open at a given time with the little indicators along the bottom if you go all the way to the left you get to a search page where you can also put in a URL for a new website so not only do you get to see your open tabs but you can also swipe through your bookmarks here or if you swipe to the right this is really cool shows you your web history so if you don't remember the page you were looking at earlier you can flick through your entire web history do you find something you like you just tap on it and it will open it up here on the top of the screen so let's dive into one of these pages that has already loaded performance is quite good it's a little bit choppy I guess it depends on which device you are using and here is what the interface looks like when you are actually in a web page we're going to go to the desktop view of pocket now to get a better view of what we have here rendering speeds are quite good they're not as fast as the stock android browser but definitely quite good for a new browser of course it's free so that gives you another reason to try it so it's almost unloading now it's done and we're going to flick down the page quickly see if there's any checkerboard there isn't there is no multi-touch support so you have to do the manual zoom here so when you tap on the screen you get a zoom slider and you can tap into zoom kind of cumbersome not ideal you can also double tap to zoom in but it doesn't reflow the column which is a little bit archaic for a modern browser so let's click onto one of these pages and see what it's like now it does intelligently pull YouTube content so we can play the YouTube video there and it will the YouTube player let's zoom out and go to another web page swipe over here to the right so as you can see very very smooth tab management if you look at lots of tabs at one time so here we've engadget we're going to flick really quickly down the page see if we can get checkerboards and there are none so it keeps up very well with fast scrolling it's also got a really cool feature called tilt mode so if you turn it sideways it will actually show you the website in a different view now the reason that this is helpful is because it lets you see more text kind of in the diagonal view but I don't see many people using this view it's just very strange so we're just going to dial into landscape view here and try to get a little bit closer on something tap it open see how long it takes to open the particular page so here we are pretty fast page load times again not as good as the stock android browser it's a little bit annoying not having the multi-touch because you can't be as precise but once the page is loaded everything comes up fast you don't get any checkerboards and this really awesome 3d view is just fantastic you can close tabs by pressing the X you can favorite a particular page in one touch by tapping on the star button here says added to bookmark so now if we flip throw you can see all the bookmarks you can also change the display here bookmarks by date added or by most visited so it'll put the most visited sites here in the front of all of your favorites you can also go to manage and you can change all of your bookmarks you can delete some you can add some and do everything right from that screen let's die on tough settings real quick we can change the default zoom level so you can change it too far close or medium can choose whether to load images fit screen fit page to screen with block pack up pop-ups enable javascript enable plugins so that you can look at the YouTube content enable angle display which is that really weird kind of slanted view that I don't think many people are going to use cookies location which keeps actually going into turning on the GPS on this phone which is quite annoying remember username and passwords and so on and so forth so overall a really innovative browser that you should absolutely try because it's free really helps you to manage abs in a really fluid interface that we haven't seen yet on any other browser that's out there right now if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and thanks for watching that's it for now
