I like it. It could use improvement, but I like the split-window thing a lot.

So, here's my comments:

When I'm using the split screen mode, it would be nice for the address of whatever window I'm currently using (read:scrolling, clicking about, ect) to be updated in the address bar.

I do like the split window feature. I think it would be nice to have tabbed-browsing, and then be able to add an unlimited amount of windows into the main browser window, and be able to resize them just like I can resize windows on my desktop. As a default the way you have the windows displayed works great, but if there were 4 windows, a nice feature would be to allow the user to customize the height and width of the window like you allow the width to be customized now.

Good job though... For a beta, it's looking good.

Much obliged every bit of feedback helps

Just some quick things I've noticed.

When going 'back', the address bar doesn't update what page you are on.

And the split window thing, there's no easy way to scroll right when the page is too big other than highlighting and draging. It's an interesting idea but I'm not sure I could find much of a use for it though.

Come on guys, be nice. It is alpha/beta software and without people trying to innovate on what is out there we wouldn't have any cool apps to play with.

I'll admit though, with Firefox, IE, & Opera all being pretty solid browsers Frosty would almost need to code a custom (read: better than the three above) rendering engine to make this thing stand out.

I'll beta test it for ya. E-mail is in my profile. All I do is surf the web all day.

Thanks to the additional constructive feedback

Pepsi90919 and tfinch2: I am not trying to re-invent the wheel, I am trying to complete a course assignment in order to succeed in school. NOTE: I am an accounting major, not CS, so this isn't my forte

Also, Abel007, YGPM

The more feedback the better, guys

I just got it installed. Clicking on the "remember my login" prompts the auto-fill-in from Internet Explorer. Also, a cntrl-L command to open a URL would be a nice addition. No problems as of yet.
