Not so long ago, links to the new Orbitum browser appeared on the Internet, which, based on advertising information, is almost the most interesting innovation of recent times. But let's try to look at this web browser from an objective point of view, and taking into account the feedback from users who have tried it in everyday work. Regarding the reviews, it is immediately worth noting that they were divided into two opposite categories.
Orbitum: what is this program?
As already clear, the user, when installing this application, is dealing with a regular web browser, which was presented by Russian developers.
Actually, the creators of the Orbitum browser themselves (the reviews of experts fully confirm this) do not hide the fact that they borrowed the Chromium engine for its creation, which is also used in browsers such as Amigo or the Yandex browser. That is, the user has a standard interface that is inherent in almost all applications based on this engine with integration with some social networks.
Key browser features
Most reviews about Orbitum indicate that the browser is really interesting because it has a built-in access system, for example, to the VKontakte social network.
The built-in torrent client also looks no less interesting, allowing not only to refuse to use third-party applications like uTorrent for downloading, but also to view the contents of multimedia content (for example, video) without explicitly downloading it to the hard drive in real time.
Performance Issues
The creators of the browser claim that this browser, unlike similar programs, has amazing speed in terms of opening web pages. Frankly speaking, one can argue with this.
The fact is that any browser immediately after the first installation simply “flies”. But do not forget that in the process of Internet surfing in such programs a lot of computer garbage accumulates in the form of a cache, temporary files and cookies. If they are not removed in a timely manner, the performance, whether you want it or not, is reduced.
In addition, as noted, a separate issue is that this browser can behave like the most common adware virus. Sometimes installing "Orbitum" is half the battle (although it can be installed independently as affiliate software when installing other software products), but getting rid of the appearance of advertising with a constant redirect to relevant Internet resources is a bit more complicated question.
In the simplest version, you can optionally install the extension (addition) AdBlock, preferably the Pro version, which can block the display of inappropriate content. Apparently, the ad display system is present in the browser only because developers need to raise the browser rating, respectively, and financial investments for its development and promotion, it is necessary to somehow compensate.
What to do if Orbitum is not installed?
But it also happens that you cannot install the browser. In this case, when starting the installer, you need to use administrator rights. But even after this, the installation may be blocked by the standard antivirus and the Windows built-in firewall or Defender.
For the duration of the installation, the antivirus should be disabled (say, about ten minutes). If the restrictions are still imposed by the firewall, in its settings the installer must be added to the list of exclusions, and after installation, create a new exclusion rule for the already installed application. The same, by the way, applies to the antivirus, because the program can again be blocked and marked as unwanted software. By and large, even the firewall can be turned off completely and completely.
How to uninstall the program?
Now let's see how to remove Orbitum, if for some reason the user no longer needs it. Here, too, is not so simple.
Of course, you can use the most common section of programs and components, which is located in the Control Panel, but in the case of Windows uninstallers you won’t achieve complete removal, because after the standard procedure the system’s files and folders will remain in the system, not to mention About registry entries.
Thus, in order to complete the removal, and even automatically get rid of everything that may remain after the removal, it is better to use uninstaller applications. One of the most interesting is the iObit Uninstaller package. In it, you just need to find the program you need, delete it by the standard method, turn on powerful scanning and get rid of the found residual objects, simultaneously enabling the file destruction mode.
Orbitum: reviews. How appropriate is the installation of the browser and its use?
Here is a brief summary of everything about the new and so widely publicized browser. It is difficult to say whether an ordinary user needs it, since opinions about it are divided. Adherents of social networks claim that it is very convenient in work, others complain about the presence of advertising and an unreasonably large number of unnecessary functions.
So what about installing and using the Orbitum browser? Reviews about him, as is already clear, do not give a clear answer to this question. But, if you approach it from the point of view of computer security and the appearance of unnecessary garbage in the system, it is better not to install this program, although there is nothing to worry about in its use.
