What is Lightning Web Browser? Lightning is a minimalist web browser that prioritizes speed of search. It is smaller than other browsers and loads in less than a second. It is based on Webkit and keeps a buffer of many WebBrowser objects in memory, allowing for instant return to previously viewed pages. It also has features such as Lightning Lookup, URL and search item selection, history and bookmarks with editable bookmarks page, preloading of next page, page by page control over Flash content and cookies, trackpad gestures, spelling and grammar checking, and the option to use Google DNS for faster initial page load.
1. 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.
2. * History and Bookmarks are HTML pages containing an (optional) snapshot of the page when it was last viewed.
3. Enable the "Lightning Lookup" service and search on selected text from any application in an instant by typing command-@.
4. Lightning is a minimalist web browser designed with one thing in mind - speed of search.
5. This allows you to return back to a previously viewed page instantaneously without having to wait for it to reload.
6. For search terms, select the site you wish use as a search engine on the popup list at the left hand side.
7. An order of magnitude smaller than other browsers, Lightning loads in less than a second and is ready to use straight away.
8. * The Bookmarks page is WSYWIG editable to "arrange" them and can be used as your home page.
9. URL's (starting with ) or search items can be selected or entered into the address bar.
10. * Preloads next page off-screen when you hover over a link.
11. * Page by Page control over Flash content and cookies.
