FastBack For Mac

With advanced web browsing tools, customizable interfaces, support for large number of extensions, and all sorts of other useful features, it’s safe to say that there isn’t any shortage of full-featured and highly competent web browsers on the market today.

FastBack is a lightweight OS X web browser that is nothing like the described above browsers, in fact, it’s the exact opposite. FastBack was designed from the ground up for one thing, and one thing only: speed.

This said, if you are looking for an all-round, do-it-all browser, this clearly isn’t a very good choice for you. But, in case you just want to browse the web with lightning speed, then you should at least give FastBack a chance to prove its worth.

We are not saying that is the fastest ever web browser, but, calling it anything less than nimble would surely be uncalled for. But, probably the best thing about FastBack is the fact that this small and lightweight browser doesn’t reload the webpages you have visited, which makes going back or scrolling between multiple previously opened web pages an absolute joy.

Despite being a fairly young project, we have found FastBack to be smooth as butter when it comes to fast transitions between multiple visited pages. This fact alone clearly makes it ideal for people who do a lot of online reading and repeatedly switch between pages with lots of text.

As a suggestion for future development, we think that, because this web browser was designed mostly for online reading, it should also have the following two features: a “read later” function and a fullscreen option.

Considering that chances are you already have at least one all-purpose web browser installed on your Mac, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have one more web browser like FastBack installed, for times when you just want to blitz your way through web pages without the need to wait for web pages to load or reload forever when clicking the “Back” button.
