GURL Watcher is an advanced software that allows users to track and monitor browsing activities quietly in the background. It is an effective tool that helps individuals keep tabs on internet usage.
Setting up GURL Watcher is easy and straightforward. You just need to place the small application in your extensions folder and turn it on using the Setup Utility. From then on, it will silently observe the sites visited by Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator and Navigator, iCab and Opera browsers.
One of the key features of GURL Watcher is its efficient logging of the Title and URL of pages accessed from different browsers. It can handle more than one browser running at the same time, and can save the log in a designated file or send it to a designated email address at preset intervals.
However, it's worth noting that GURL Watcher is not compatible with AOL's browser and is not yet OS X compliant. In addition, the executable will only operate for one-hour periods in trial mode.
But the good news is that the latest release of GURL Watcher includes a bug fix that enables it to be force quit from the Setup application by simply turning it off once, then again using the "Turn Off" button. This eliminates the hanging problems that can occur when a SMTP server is not currently available and you want to immediately terminate the application.
To use GURL Watcher, you need a PowerPC Macintosh with an internet connection and a popular browser such as Safari, Netscape Navigator/Communicator, Internet Explorer, iCab or Opera. You also need a direct way to send email via your ISP's SMTP server if you want to receive URL reports via email.
In conclusion, if you need to monitor browsing activity without interfering with the user experience, then GURL Watcher is definitely worth a try.
