Qword Browser claims to be a very fast browser that can help you to download videos from YouTube to your computer and various torrent websites. In addition, it says that your files will be downloaded more quickly if you use Qword Browser.

Actually, we do not think that Qword Browser differs much from other browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox). In fact, there is also a possibility that it will cause harm to your system. It is, of course, up to you what to do with Qword Browser; however, we suggest that you use another browser. Read more »
