1、Enhance the internet browsing experience

If you happen to mistype an address to a webpage or try to go to a website that does not exist, Orbit provides you with a redirect page that is meant to help provide you some suggestions to the actual webpage. The Customized Error Page including a Google search box to help you search for what you are looking for, or you can go back. We hope we can make you browse the web smoother.

2、Your tolerance could let more people enjoy a free, better service
Maintain a program which has tens of millions users is not an easy thing, regardless from manpower to material resources. Orbit is a freeware and is truly better than a lot of sharewares, paywares and adwares. Actually, there were so many companies had made pretty good offers to buy Orbit. But we rejected, because it against our philosophy, the companies want to change Orbit to adware or shareware with payment. Of course, we thank for the generous donation by our users. But it was utterly inadequate to cover ourcosts. So we are trying to create a Customized Error Page to make some benefits from our sponsor. Your graceful support will help us and make more people enjoy a better freeware.

3、Donation and Settings
Without a doubt, we look forward to your generous donation, thanks so much!
