Idle
- return to a specified home page
Netbrowser can be configured to return to any specified

Dual
Browser Windows
Some of the web sites can produce a multitude of "new
instances" or "spawns" of browser windows
(or combination of both!). These can cause major problem
on kiosks as these browser windows can become hidden,
produce a number of windows all over the user interface
and can eat up system resources. Netbrowser handles
this in an intuitive and resource saving manner by never
allowing these to become hidden (left running unseen)
or allow more than two browsers to run. All transferring
from browser to browser is kept within these two windows.
