A plugin for the Netscape 4.79 and Internet Explorer 5.5 Browser that fills in forms automatically, if the site has the one-click icon. It also remembers and fills in passwords. Otherwise you must drag fields individually, still faster that typing.

There are several problems with Gator.

  1. gator.com was bought out by claria.com and they discontinued the product, then went defunt themselves.
  2. It is fat, over 2 MB.
  3. It bombards you with ads at inopportune and unexpected times. You can turn this off by uninstalling the Offer Companion component.
  4. It works only inside Internet Explorer. It won’t even manually remember passwords or data for you outside IE.
  5. It was accused of spying.
We need a replacement product.
