How Do I
Install The Chameleon Browser? top
Once you click on the
download button, you will be prompted to make some choices. These
primarily depend on which browser your currently using.
For Internet Explorer Users:
Choose Run this program from it's current location. The download
will begin and once it's completed, the installation process will
automatically begin. Follow the directions on the screen.
For Netscape Users:
Choose save this file to disk. You will be asked where on
your system you'd like to save the file. Use the scroll bar supplied and
scroll up and choose to save the file on your desktop. After
the download is completed, close out any open browsers you may have and
double click the exe file you've just downloaded. Follow the
directions on the screen to install the program.
*Note: You may delete this exe file on your desktop by dragging it to your recycle bin after installation. You no longer need this file.
I've
installed the Chameleon Browser, now what? top
When the browser was installed, it
created a new program group in your start menu and placed an icon on
your desktop. Click either of these to launch the browser. You will be
asked to create a password to protect the adult part of the
browser. At this time, think of a password you'll remember and type it
in.*Note,: You may leave these fields empty if you wish not to
protect the browser.
I've
forgotten the password I created. How do I find out what it
was? top
The chameleon browser is password protected to protect your privacy and prevent your children from accessing questionable material. If you have misplaced or lost your password simply send an email to support@chameleonbrowser.com and we will show you how to set up a new account.
What is the
Hide/Show button for? top
You can customize the browser to
start in either adult or non-adult mode. The hide/show button is an easy
way to switch back and forth between the two and also functions as a
panic button to close all windows at once and swap modes.
What exactly
are tabs and what are they for? top
Tabs allow you to view multiple
webpages while only using 1 browser! You can have as many tabs open as
you'd like and you can open/close them individually as
well.
How do I
remove the buttons from the tool bar? top
The tool bar in the Chameleon
browser does not have the option to replace the icon buttons with text.
What we opted to do is allow for your window to hide the tool bar while
you surf. This maximizes the size of your browser screen. The tool bar
will reappear when you mouseover the hidden tool bar again. To operate
this feature, from the mail file menu choose "Options" and click on
"Shrink Navigation Bar".
What is the
purpose of the Ad Bar? top
The ad bar serves multi-purposes.
It is used for web sites who've helped sponsor the Chameleon browser so
that we may offer it to you for free and to show you a list of
categorized web sites that we think you'd really enjoy visiting. The ads
are specific to what mode you currently have your browser
adult/non-adult settings
I click on
a link and nothing happens. Why? top
The real benefit of the Chameleon
browser is that no longer will you be annoyed by unwanted pop up windows
(called consoles in web jargon) unless you choose to see them. Some
web sites use links that always opens the link in a new window. If you
have your browser settings as "Display Consoles" then you will get the
new window as well as any consoles the webmaster has placed on his site.
If you've set your browser to "Ask Before Displaying Consoles" then you
will be prompted before the window is opened. If your settings are "Do
Not Display Condoles" then you will not see the new screen because
technically, the new screen is a console. If you surf a site and see
this to be a problem, set your settings to "Display Consoles" or "Ask Me
Before Displaying".
How do I
get my Internet Explorer bookmarks into the Chameleon
browser? top
We look for your Internet Explorer
favorites during the installation process. Your Internet Explorer
bookmarks will already be displayed on the browsers first use. At this
time, Netscape bookmarks can not be imported.
Do you offer a version for Macintosh? top
We hope to be able to offer Chameleon Browser for the Macintosh in the future.
We currently don't have the company resources to do it, but as more
people use the browser we will be able to hire people to start work on a
Macintosh version! We plan to support all platforms eventually.
