What is "Amigo" (browser)? How to install and how to remove it from your computer?

When visiting the Internet portal "Mile.ru" many inexperienced users have a question: "What is Amigo and why is it needed?". It appears because when you view this site it is suggested, almost forcibly, to install this software. "Amigo" is a relatively new application that has a number of advantages against the background of competitors. The main one is integration with social services, which are becoming more and more popular every day. Therefore, such a decision "Mile.ru" is indeed justified. Only here the approach to its distribution leaves much to be desired. Who needs this browser, he will find it and install it. Well, this approach leads to the fact that the unpopular Amigo becomes even less popular. In some cases, it is included in other programs, and when they are installed on your PC, another browser appears, which is not needed. This is also wrong.

A new development from Mile.ru

In October 2012, the company "Mile.ru" presented its newest development - Internet viewer "Amigo". Browser, in addition to viewing sites, will also work in social networks. At the moment, the most popular ones are supported: VKontakte, My World, Odnoklassniki, Twitter and Facebook. In the future, it is planned to expand this list substantially. Plus this solution is that you can simultaneously exchange messages in all previously listed social networks. As a development engine, "Chronium" was used. It is now based on many software products of this class. At first glance this is really an interesting development. But is it really so? Comparing its strengths and weaknesses, one can get an answer to this question.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of this browser:

• Integration of social networks.
• It is built on the most popular engine for today.
• Ability to install many add-ons to extend functionality.

But there are only two minuses. But they are quite substantial. The first of these is that this software product has not been developed yet. The computer may start working incorrectly after the Amigo has been installed. Feedback from users around the Internet is an additional confirmation. The second is that this browser is not completely "natural" spreads with the help of advertising. Well, if the user specifically wanted to put it yourself. Well, if it happened by accident, then in the course of its operation and removal, problems may arise. Also after installation, "Amigo" defines itself as the default browser. If previously the user used Mozilla or Opera with certain settings, then there is a replacement for the solution from Mile.ru without saving the parameters, which is not always convenient.

Download and install

Install "Amigo" is not difficult, and each user can handle this task. As the source of the installation version it is recommended to use only the portal "Mile.ru". From other resources it is not recommended to download this application, because it can be "hacked". That is, it is configured so that your secret information (for example, login or password) can be transferred through the Global Web into the hands of intruders, and they can then use this data for personal gain. After the installer is downloaded, open the boot location on the hard drive and do a double click on its icon with the left mouse button. After that, it will be launched. Then, following the instructions of the installation wizard, install it on your computer. At the end of this simple procedure, everything is ready.

Configure the browser

Outwardly "Amigo" practically does not differ from "Chrome" or "Yandex-Browser". The bookmarks bar on top, the address bar below it, the download status indicator at the bottom - all the same as in other software products on the "Chronium" engine. The only difference is that on the right there is a social bookmarking bar , but it will be discussed a little further. Basic settings can be called by clicking on the wrench icon in the upper left corner of the screen. In the opened list, select the item "Settings". Here you can set the default search. That is, change "Mile.ru" to "Yandex" or "Google". It is also possible to mark the most interesting pages for the user. To do this, just click on the asterisk at the end of the address bar. Then, when you need to return to this site, click the left mouse button on the same spanner and select the "Favorites" item. After that, a full list of all marked pages will be opened. Find the site we need and perform a similar click on it.

Social networks

The answer to the question about what Amigo is is the following statement: "This is a browser with integrated social services". In it, as previously noted, a separate panel is provided for these purposes. It is located on the right side of the screen. After installing "Amigo" you need to enter the network accounts by entering your login and password. After that, it will be possible to communicate from one application right away on all social networks. If desired, this side panel can be hidden.

Uninstalling

Now find out how to remove the Amigo from your computer. To do this, perform the following manipulations. We go in the "Start", then in the "Control Panel". Next, we find the shortcut "Programs and components" and start it. In the opened list we find "Amigo", select it and click on the "Delete" button. Then, following the instructions of the uninstall wizard, we delete this application. In the end, close all previously open windows. After that, the program part of this browser is no longer on the computer.

Cleaning the registry and computer

Just remove this browser from your computer will be small. After all, this is a socially integrated browser. This is the answer to what "Amigo" is. After the removal of its program part, pictures, messages and other important information with which he worked were bound to remain. All this also needs to be removed from the computer. For these purposes it is best to use "Ccleaner". If you do not have this program installed, then we find it on the Internet, download and install it. Then we run it from the desktop and go to the "Cleanup" tab. On it, we set all the necessary flags and click on the "Analysis" button. At its end, another button will become active - "Cleaning". We press it. In the window that appears, we give a positive answer. After that all the official information of "Amigo" will be deleted. Then go to the tab "Registry". Then we perform a search for problems by clicking the appropriate button. At the end, click "Fix". After that all records and data about "Amigo" on the local computer will be deleted.

Conclusion

In this article, not only was the answer given to what the Amigo is, but also its strengths and weaknesses. Given all the above, we can say with confidence that this browser is perfect for fans of social networks. But the unfinished software part and in this niche does not leave a chance for successful development of such an application as "Amigo" (browser). Reviews of many users - a further confirmation of this. Therefore, it is quite difficult to judge the prospects for the development of this Internet viewer.
