What’s interesting about the Tungsten web browser is that it features two rendering engines: Chrome’s Bing engine and Internet Explorer’s Trident engine. Go to the Settings menu and easily choose what rendering engine Tungsten will use by default.

Since tabbed browsing isn’t something new, it comes as no surprise that Tungsten features it. What is interesting is the browser’s tab grouping feature. Take a tab, drag and drop it onto another tab, and Tungsten will group the two tabs. You can then take more tabs and drag and drop them onto the group. This is handy way of keeping tabs organized.

And since we’re talking about tabs, Tungsten offers all the other tab-related functionality you would expect to get from a web browser: duplicate tab, pin tab, close tab, reorder tabs by dragging and dropping them.

Tungsten has plenty more functionality to offer: favorite/bookmark webpages; access bookmarks from your other browsers; open local applications; view your browsing history, view recently closed tabs; access Chromium apps; explore your local drives and folders; add webpages to the quickstart; back up and restore the browser configuration; a clock is displayed on the interface when Tungsten goes full screen; mouse gestures are supported; and more.

Tungsten is free software.

Tungsten is an interesting browser. It supports two rendering engines, it has an intriguing tab grouping function, it provides free access to many more features.

Pros

Tungsten is available as an installer and as a portable version. Installing Tungsten on a Windows PC is an effortless task (please note that support is provided from Vista SP2 onward). Tungsten has a user friendly, tabbed interface that can be customized with a skin. Use Tungsten to explore local files and to open local applications. There are lots of settings to play with. Tungsten features two rendering engines. Tungsten features a tab grouping function. Tungsten is free software.

Cons

None that I could think of.
