Finch.Ploogy.net - Enhance Web Browsing

In the words of its creator, “Finch makes slow Internet bearable, by stripping away the fat of web pages, leaving just the content”. In practice, this means that Finch is heaven-sent for those who don’t have a fast connection and are keen on pages which place too much emphasis on graphics and the like.

Finch works by taking out images, flash, metadata and every other aesthetic element. What remains is the meat and bones of the site for you to peruse at will. On the other hand, you must bear in mind that Finch can’t run JavaScript. This means that AJAX apps like FaceBook can’t be processed and streamlined using Finch.

To use Finch, you simple key in the relevant URL or cut and paste it and hit the “Go” button. There is no need to register or login at all, and no fees must be paid.

The Finch website also comes complete with usage rules, and the pages that should not be viewed using Finch are set forth one by one.

“Finch makes slow Internet bearable, by stripping away the fat of web pages, leaving just the content. It takes out CSS, images, flash, metadata, iframes, purple mongooses (mongeese?) and more, meaning less for your computer to load.”

It will help anybody maximize his or her online time.

This is a very interesting application, what features are planned for future incarnations?
