Wyzo: A Browser with Built-in Support for Torrents

With the advance of the Internet, the browser is becoming one of the most used and important pieces of software on any computer. As such, I am always curious to see what the innovations that the new browsers are bringing to the market.

wyzo

Last week I came across one browser called Wyzo. They call it “the media browser.” It makes sense, because the main differentiator of Wyzo is its native support for torrents. If you ever tried to download torrents, you know that first you need to have a BitTorrent client, right? Well, if you are using Wyzo, all you have to do is to click on the torrent file and the browser will manage the download for you. Pretty cool right?

Other features of the browser include a customizable start page where you can search up to 33 different search engines, and some security modules.

The browser is built on top of Firefox, so you can expect it to be just as reliable. Currently only Windows and Mac versions are available, but they are planning to release a Linux version soon (yeah I will be waiting for that one).
