The Page List

Fly around a visual map of all the pages and sites you're working withFly around iRider's visual map of all the pages and sites you're working with

Perfect for comparing products on a shopping site, flipping through search results, and referring quickly to sets of pages

The Page List liberates you from the limitations of the Back/Forward buttons and website links

Just click on any open page to go to it instantly. Or navigate the Page List the usual way, by clicking links and using the familiar Back and Forward buttons. Back and Forward also work instantly, and if you click a link to a page that's already open, you're taken to it instantly

Drag through the Page List to riffle through pages, just like flipping through a magazine (well, actually a lot faster than that)

 

Manipulate entire sites or all pages at once. Close several pages at once by dragging across their close buttons

 

Open hundreds of pages without overtaxing memory. iRider's sophisticated memory management works automatically

Eliminate the wait with Surf-Ahead

Right-click links to Surf Ahead. Pages download below while you stay on your current pageRight-click links to Surf Ahead. Pages download while you stay on your current page

When you're done with a page, the next one's usually ready instantly. Pages wait for you — you don't wait for them

Use Surf-Ahead and the Next Page button (see below) to flip through pages at top speed. You may not need that fast internet connection after all

 

Stay focused: completely finish a page before reading linked pages, while feeling free to click any links of interest

With iRider, you're never in doubt about whether you've seen everything you wanted to see on a website: just Surf-Ahead any link and go through them all with the Next Page button

(Context menus can be opened by holding the right button down for a moment. Mouse buttons can also be customized.)




Open several links at once

Select multiple links or favorites and click one to open all of them at onceSelect multiple links or favorites (bookmarks) and click one to open all of them at once. Much faster than clicking them one-by-one!

Flip through them with the Next Page button as they download ahead of you at maximum speed

 

Put your fast Internet connection to work for you: open entire piles of pages and flip through them as fast as you like

Turn a list of product links into a set of product pages, then peruse them like a catalog



The Next Page button

Click Next Page (or press F4) to go instantly to the next downloaded pageClick Next Page (or the F4 key) to go instantly to the next downloaded page that you haven't visited yet. No need to hunt the Page List or a row of tabs for the next downloaded page

Use Next Page in combination with Surf-Ahead to fly through websites!

Next Page visits downloaded pages until you've visited all of them. You can rapidly traverse an entire site — or at least the stuff you're interested in — without having to think about where you are, where you've been, and whether you've seen everything you wanted to see

If your current page is taking too long to download, click Next Page to go to one that's finished; when the first page is done, Next Page will return to it



Search several search engines at once

Query several search engines at once, chosen from dozens of search engines in several categories, including images, video, audio, news and shoppingiRider Search lets you query several search engines at once, chosen from dozens of search engines in several categories, including images, video, audio, news and shopping

You can even select entire categories at once, such as Images. Why not — you won't have to wait for them to download

 

In record time, you'll have exhaustively researched your subject of interest, something that would take a huge amount of time and effort with an ordinary browser

 

Your search terms are automatically sent to the Find command, making it easy to find any or all of them within a page




Pin pages

Any non-URL text is ignored, so you can Copy any mixture of URLs and text



Keep pop-ups out of your way

Pop-up ads stay out of your wayPop-up ads open under your current page, so they don't get in your way

As you advance through pages, you can either skip them instantly or read them, just like an ad in a magazine

 

The dirty secret of pop-up blockers is that they block some pages you really need, need to be configured, and deny free websites the ad-views they need to survive.

Pop-up blockers have also just encouraged advertisers to use more obnoxious kinds of ads, such as layer ads that appear within pages.

Mozilla's pop-up blocker: at least it's honest
