Thanks for trying PolyBrowser. We were shooting to make PolyBrowser work even on setups like yours (trackpad, no mouse). You can still use Ctrl +/- to zoom in and out, and Control Tab to switch tabs, plus drag with the right mouse button. Thanks so much for the screenshots of those issues!


Thanks for the thorough review. All excellent points! You're right, we focused on getting everything as reasonably polished as possible before launching version 1.0, so that we could expand the audience and get more feedback (just like this). :)


We haven't experienced that issue, even behind corporate firewalls, but will look into it. Thanks!


Anything logged on my end that I could send to you? (Edit: can't navigate to your Feedback/Support page either)


If you could send screenshots of the error, that would be perfect. Send to (email removed).


email containing screenshot is en route.


Hi chris-at, the open source license is discussed on our website here: https://polybrowser.com/faqs/where-can-i-download-the-source...


So it is open-source, but the poly-specific source can't be modified, just reviewed?

Interesting concept.


PolyBrowser is trending on Product Hunt... http://www.producthunt.com/posts/polybrowser Check it out!


Thanks yangyang. Yes, that's an open issue that we're working on fixing.


There is a mirror download link on the download page (hosted on Dropbox) if you are having download issues. Hopefully that works. Please let us know if you still have issues so that we can set up an alternative. Thanks!


Tried both, same thing. I'll try again later :).


There are still "tabs" that jump you to the chosen website, which always drop you in the correct place (centered on screen) so you don't lose context. The only difference is that if the website is smaller than your screen size, you will see the neighboring websites to the side.


Definitely! For the first release, we had to focus on the biggest bang (Mac/Win) but Linux is coming (as soon as we can).


Nice! I hope the linux release don't take so long.


Hey, everything comes back around eventually. ;) No denying that it saves space, and we are going for a search experience that maximizes screen real estate.


looks good. nice to see that people are still trying to rethink objects that have been around for years.
