SWeb is a web browser whose screenshots remember where you were on the page. ■ Screenshots that remember the spot Long-press the screen with two fingers to bring up a capture frame. Move it, resize it from the corners, and double-tap inside to save. Tap a saved screenshot later and SWeb opens the page and scrolls right back to that spot. You can also save it to your photo library. ■ Share a link, they see the same spot Send the screenshot and link through Messages, KakaoTalk or social apps. When the other person opens the link in SWeb, the same page opens at the same position. ■ All your windows at a glance Keep several pages open as windows and flip through them in ladder, grid or card view. Save the windows you open together every day as a template and reopen them all in one tap. ■ Fast with one finger • Swipe left or right with one finger for the previous / next page • Swipe with two fingers for the previous / next window • Pull down from the top of the page to refresh • Drag the floating menu button up or down to jump to the top or bottom • Shake the device to hide or show the menu button ■ Favorites in groups Organize favorites into groups and open a whole group at once.
