Software update: Acoo Browser 1.96 build 980

The developers behind Acoo Browser have released version 1.96 build 980 of the web browser of the same name. Acco Browser is a so-called ‘wrapper’; it uses Internet Explorer’s internal engine to display the pages, but the interface is from Acoo Browser itself. Of course it also adds the necessary additional functionality although this is less impressive with the arrival of Internet Explorer 7. Some of the extra features are an Html Source Viewer with syntax highlighting, mouse gestures, shortened URLs and the ability to zoom in and out of web pages.
