Roccat is a capable browser for Mac computers that provides you with all the features you could possibly require for a fast and secure browsing experience. This Internet utility enables you to surf the Web in a convenient manner without being bothered by webpage ads. It also provides you with numerous security settings and allows you to share your favorite websites over a network or various media devices.
The browser worked flawlessly for me. This application brings you an address bar that is fused with a search tool, hence you can easily look for webpages. It also lets you check websites in fullscreen mode and offers you an option to browse the Web without saving any traces about the pages you've visited.
Another thing I like about Roccat is the fact that it displays a small preview of all launched webpages (under the URL address bar). You can customize the appearance of these windows by changing their size or position on the main screen of the application.
Similar to plenty of other apps of its kind, this utility allows you to back up browsing history, bookmarks, and settings to a personal RCloud account (you can create an RCloud directly from the app's interface and need to be logged in to back up data). After doing so, you can access the saved browsing data from any location using your iPhone, iPad or another Mac computer.
In short, Roccat proves to be a smart addition to my collection of Mac programs. This application provides you with a user-friendly interface, removes ads from webpages before they load, and comes without a price.
