BriskBard combines a wide range of tools into a single web browser, to allow you to visit your favorite websites easier and more safely. It includes an email client, IRC chat application, news aggregator, FTP client, contacts manager and more. It essentially eliminates the need to install countless third party extensions on your browser. Whenever you need to manage emails and contacts, chat with people or upload files, you will find the necessary tools in front of you, instead of having to launch them separately.

BriskBard is offered completely free of charge and it runs without any problems on all modern Windows versions. Downloading and installing the software is a straightforward operation, with no complex configurations involved. You don't have to install any kind of prerequisite tools or services, so you can run the browser right away.

The user interface consists of most of the elements you would expect to find on any web browser. By default, the home page presents a series of quick links, for popular services, like YouTube, Netflix, Instagram and many others. However, if you prefer the traditional quick dial page, you can make this setting in the general configurations menu.

BriskBard's included tools are displayed on their own tabs and they work just like stand-alone applications. You can connect to FTP servers and upload or download files, connect to IRC channels, manage contacts, emails and much more, in a comfortable manner, without encountering any limitations from the browser's interface.

Like all modern browsers, BriskBard lets you access multiple websites on separate tabs. What's more, tabs can be displayed vertically on the left side of the interface, which can make things more comfortable if you intend to access a large number of websites. Bookmarking websites, managing bookmarks and downloads and other operations are perform just like in other browsers you may be used to, but that's not where BriskBard's strengths can be found.

It has to be mentioned that there are a few useful features which can be accessed on the fly. For example, you can turn on the browser's built-in ad blocker at a moment's notice, by simply clicking a small icon in the lower right corner of the interface, where you can also activate a pop-up blocker and retrieve connection information. Other tools can be found in a menu, after clicking an icon, in the upper left corner of the window.

If you have to rely on more than your browser's base functionality, BriskBard can provide you with everything you need straight out of the box.

Pros

The browser includes a good number of special tools. It lets you manage emails and contacts, connect to FTP servers and much more. Some of its tools are placed right in front of you, so you can turn them on at a moment's notice.

Cons

The user interface could use a more modern and attractive design.
