Spark Security Browser Description
Considering that nowadays there are so many available browsers, it makes sense to test as many of them as possible and settle on the one that meets your requirements best.
If you are looking for a utility that packs some additional functions besides the traditional browser-related ones, you can try Spark Security Browser.
Chromium-based browser
Just like many others out there, this application also relies on the Chromium engine to deliver both speed and flexibility.
The interface is familiar, and its features resemble the ones packed in other similar solutions – you can open new tabs, create bookmarks or adjust the zoom level. You can also choose a custom homepage to be opened whenever you access the browser.
Security-oriented functions
Nonetheless, Spark Security Browser includes several specialized components that are meant to protect you from online threats.
For instance, it can block ads detected on the web page you are currently visiting (unfortunately, this does not always work, and you might need to restart the browser to hide the banners).
There is also a tool called ‘Browser Doctor’ that aims to fix some issues you might encounter with your browser. However, you should know that attempting to fix these problems installs Baidu PC Faster on your PC, without any prior notification or warning.
Moreover, the application comes with a so-called ‘Security Center’ that assesses the security status of your computer and offers some suggestions for strengthening it. Thus, you can improve the browsing, shopping or account protection levels with only a few mouse click.
Features multimedia and torrent downloads
Another useful function that Spark Security Browser offers is its multimedia downloader that only gets active when you are visiting a supported web page. In other words, it helps you download and convert video or audio content without needing to launch a third-party app.
Its Bittorrent downloader is of great use when you stumble across a torrent link that you want to grab to your PC.
All in all, Spark Security Browser might seem a reliable solution, yet it is still a little rough around the edges and advanced users might not appreciate that.
