Lightning Web Browser for Mac Description

Lightning is a minimalist web browser designed with one thing in mind - speed of search. An order of magnitude smaller than other browsers, Lightning loads in less than a second and is ready to use straight away. Enable the "Lightning Lookup" service and search on selected text from any application in an instant by typing command-@. Based on Webkit (the already fast core of the Safari and Chrome browsers), instead of unloading browsed pages as you navigate, Lightning keeps a buffer of many WebBrowser objects in memory. This allows you to return back to a previously viewed page instantaneously without having to wait for it to reload. This optimisation makes a huge difference to speed of navigation. URL's (starting with http://) or search items can be selected or entered into the address bar. For search terms, select the site you wish use as a search engine on the popup list at the left hand side. Other features include: - History and Bookmarks are HTML pages containing an (optional) snapshot of the page when it was last viewed. - The Bookmarks page is WSYWIG editable to "arrange" them and can be used as your home page. Use the "Manage/Save Bookmarks" menu item to make your changes permanent. - Preloads next page off-screen when you hover over a link. - Page by Page control over Flash content and cookies. - All the usual trackpad gestures including zoom supported. - To close a tab or remove a bookmark tap it's icon. - Full Spelling/Grammar checking available via edit menu. - As a final boost to initial page load try Google DNS on 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4.
