The main browser window has an address bar and a toolbar, with a Window button on the left that opens a site in a separate popup. SSuite NetSurfer Portable is a Chromium-based browser with privacy controls, an extension manager, and a built-in media player.
How do the privacy controls work?
NetSurfer includes an ad blocker that can receive updates, along with blocking for website and social media tracking. For individual cookie settings, open a site in its own popup using the Window button. Select the lock icon beside that popup’s address bar to change the site’s security preferences.
Private Mode is available for browsing sessions where limiting personal data collection and tracking is a priority. These controls are separate from the per-site cookie options.
What can you play in the built-in media player?
The player handles YouTube videos, local media files, and direct media links. It also includes a 10-band equalizer for adjusting audio frequencies.
YouTube share links can be added to the playlist. Playback without ads depends on enabling the relevant preinstalled extensions through Extension Manager.
Which extensions come with NetSurfer?
The browser includes SSuite Office, uBlock Origin, and Proton extensions. Open Extension Manager and use Add to activate an extension. NetSurfer’s Chromium foundation supports its browser functions, while these extensions add separate tools and options.
