Once you log in, you can choose from a set of default lists such as the Washington Post, Entertainment, Comics, Shopping or Travel to name a few. Load one of these lists or create your own list of web pages. Once you have your list loaded, click the Quickbrowse button and let it do its thing. It takes several minutes to gather all your web pages and stitch them together but during this time there is no input required from you. Each list you define can be saved and recalled again with one click of the mouse. When the process is complete you are presented with a "Masterpage" with all the requested pages linked together. You can create and save as many lists as you like. Each list will create a "Masterpage" consisting of the web pages identified with that list.
It is not necessary to visit the Quickbrowse site each time. Once you have a collection of sites you like, you can save it like a standard bookmark in your browser and recall it from there just like any other bookmark. Another nice feature is the ability to have your "Masterpage" e-mailed to you. Quickbrowse will go out and collect your web pages each day and have them waiting for you in your mailbox when you log on in the morning (or any other time of the day that you specify).
There are a few things you should be aware of:
The Quickbrowse user interface relies heavily on JavaScript and Cookies. In order for Quickbrowse to function properly, your browser must be set to allow all of these.
There are some sites, like MyYahoo, using a cookie-based user authentication method. You currently can't quickbrowse such sites.
Although the Quickbrowse user interface uses Javascript, it has a problem displaying other web sites containing JavaScript, Java Applets, cascading style sheets, Macromedia and other plug-ins.
This is a work in progress and the author is constantly adding new features and incorporating bug fixes. I am sure many of the limitations mentioned above will also be addressed in future upgrades to the program.
People have been known to include everything from news content to eBay auctions to daily stock market information in their Quickbrowse page. The potentials are endless. If you have a series of web pages you like to visit on a regular basis, check out Quickbrowse. It will definitely save you time and make your life easier.
