Otter Description
Otter is an interesting and intuitive software solution meant to function as a browser, so you can surf the web, visit and bookmark your favorite pages. It is based on the classic version of Opera (12) and reinvented using Qt5.
Clear-cut and uncomplicated user interface
Appearance-wise, the program is not overly impressive, but its simplicity may appeal to individuals who wish for a no-fuss browsing experience, which it provides through its straightforward functions and features.
The main window of Otter is compact, displaying only the most essential components (address and search field, forward, back and reload buttons), but it can be customized and you can add a sidebar which includes quick access buttons for ‘History’, ‘Bookmarks’ and ‘Transfers’. Its context menus also comprise these and additional functions that you can work with.
Visit your favorite web pages, bookmark websites or delete cookies
When browsing the Internet, you can easily access your favorite pages and bookmark them, so you can return to them anytime you want, should you need to use information they store, for instance.
Otter can work with multiple tabs or windows, while also letting you launch private tabs, so you can surf the web more securely and prevent your activity from being tracked. The application features three helpful tools, specifically ‘Transfers Manager’, ‘Cookies Manager’ and ‘Content Blocking’.
With the help of the ‘Transfers Manager’, you can view prior downloads, along with their size as well as the start and finish date and time; you can also reattempt saving items from the same link. Using the ‘Cookies Manager’, you can view and delete websites’ cookies.
Another practical component is the ‘Sessions’ tool that helps you memorize and restart browsing sessions. From the ‘Preferences’ section of Otter, you can further customize its functioning parameters to suit your particular needs.
A handy alternative for Opera 12 nostalgics
All things considered, Otter proves to be a useful and reliable Internet surfing utility which succeeds in reinventing Opera for people who miss the classic version of this browser, offering both old and new functionality to keep up with the ever-changing web.
