Pump Up Your Browser

Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator are wimpy. Whip them into shape with these Web utilities--bookmark managers, download tools, offline browsers, connection aids, even audio and video plug-ins.

  

Best Buys

These top browser utilities coax the best performance out of Navigator and Internet Explorer. IMSI's $30 NetAccelerator 1.1 will help you sprint through Web page links, while Anawave's $30 WebSnake 1.23 is the best program for downloading Web sites onto your hard drive for browsing at your convenience. Tired of trekking between search engines to find what you want? Inforian's $25 Inforian Quest 98 hits hundreds of sites at once and delivers the results to you.

With an enthusiastic roar, Aaron Ostler's $15 download manager, GoZilla 2.52, stomps through the Web and locates the site that will download your chosen file the fastest. Looking for an easier way to manage, organize, and access your favorite sites than your browser's current bookmark manager provides? The unobtrusive QuikLink Explorer fills the bill for $20. Finally, the free Dunce 2.52 is the smartest choice among connection aids, providing a range of handy utilities. Dunce automates dial-in tasks, starts multiple programs once you're online, and even reconnects you when you get dropped.
