If you're an Internet user that wants to explore other options besides Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, Mustang Browser is an alternative that lets you browse the web in a fast and safe manner. With its one-click install, getting it loaded and fully configured on your PC is very straightforward. You won't need to waste time waiting as the installer downloads additional components, or be annoyed with dozens of ads asking you to buy paid upgrades or third-party software as you install your browser.

Once the installation process is finished, you'll be amazed at how fast Mustang Browser is. Some users report that they can go from the desktop to opening their first web page in less than 2 seconds. According to a variety of benchmark tests done on Chromium-based third-party browsers, Mustang Browser comes out on top as the one offering the fastest performance.

While the browser is ready to use as soon as the installation is done, you have the ability to customize it as you see fit. There are a couple included browser themes, which modify the overall "style" of the program. You can also look around the web for additional theme created by other Mustang Browser enthusiasts.

The core features provided are everything today's Internet users should expect from a quality web browser. You can perform search queries on Google and various other search engine right from the address bar and can browse the web safely due to its built-in protections against malware, phishing sites and other online security hazards. Another particularly useful feature that comes standard with this browser is an ad blocker. By turning it on, you can enjoy exploring the Internet without dealing with ads cluttering up your window. Those who are using an older PC or have an Internet connection with limited monthly data transfer will find a browser that can automatically block ads to be very useful. Ads slow down page load times and waste your bandwidth, as your computer has to download all of their tracking and multimedia elements.

The ad blocker feature in Mustang Browser uses a more sophisticated ad detection and blocking mechanism than the most popular add blocking add-ons for Chrome and Firefox. This results in it being able to block the vast majority of ads, with the exception of unobtrusive text ads that don't have unnecessary tracking elements. The only feature that could use some improvement is the automatic page translation. While it detects the page's language and instantly translates it most of the time, it may take several seconds to display the translated text on some pages and it occasionally fails to translate a complete section of a page.
