Abstract
A customizable browser system and method for direct access to specified Internet websites. The browser's graphical elements and layout can be customized to suit the user's preferences or to match the specified website's graphical elements and layout. The system includes a software application that auto executes the browser system upon installation of the application—carrying media (e.g., a computer disk) into the computer system's media reader (e.g., a disk drive). The browser is simplified, having only the essential functions. The browser system makes the designated website the browser home page to which users return each time. The present invention provides a method for customized integration of the designated website's content with the browser.
