If you like all-in-one tools, then you will find Torch Browser to your liking. It is a Chromium-based web browser with various integrated tools. It offers the same speed, versatility and comfort of Google Chrome, but it adds some extra features to the mix. Its built-in torrent client, media grabber and the possibility of posting on social networks on the fly are just a few examples.

Like all web browsers, Torch Browser is absolutely free. It doesn't take long to install it on a Windows-powered computer and there is no need to install any prerequisite tools.

The fact that Torch Browser is based on Chromium is fairly obvious, due to its similarity to Google Chrome. If you are a Chrome user, you will find it fairly easy to migrate to this browser. When you launch it for the first time, you will immediately notice all your bookmarks placed exactly the way you left them in Chrome.

The "new tab" is a major difference between Torch and Chrome. Recently closed pages, favorite ones and apps are displayed as thumbnails, but in the lower region of the interface, on a conveyor belt, which slides in when you click it. The central region of the page is occupied by an Ask toolbar, which can be moved anywhere on the page, to make room for customization. You can place background images on the page, enable widgets and more.

A series of options are made available next to the address bar, which can be used to grab online media and share contents on Facebook or Twitter. Another option allows you to activate the built-in torrent client. It has its own user interface, similar to that of most torrent clients and you can access it on one of the browser's tabs.

Pros

The browser is just as fast and comfortable as Google Chrome. It comes with a built-in torrent client, media grabber and other useful tools. Also, you can share web pages on Facebook or Twitter with a single click.

Cons

A classic quick dial on the "new tab" page would be more comfortable, but you can probably find an app for that. If you like Google Chrome, then you will love Torch Browser for its enhanced functionality.
