Characteristics
What follows is a simple description of Go!Zilla v4.11.39.
Pros
- Simple interface
Annoyances
- Only supports Internet Explorer
- Window and buttons are very small
- Bundles (but does not require installation of) other programs: Smart Browser, Ad-Muncher
Problems
Does not download from content management system like PHP-Nuke and PostNuke, or SourceForge making downloading programs a challenge on complex or bloated websites. Instead of accepting the file as it should, it tries to download the 'module.php' file or some similar file that dispenses and redirects the browser to the correct file.
Numerous problems were introduced with newer versions. Version 3.9, which came after 3.5, suffered extremely poor performance, and the download interface became wasted considerable time whem showing information, using a gimmicky effect. 3.91 practically enforced the use of Browser Integration, much to the annoyance of users who didn't like the feature.
Numerous complaints have been made about the final version, v4.11.39, including that the uninstallation function is broken. Some former users find that the Browser Integration still remains in the system even after uninstallation.
