}}'''Off By One''' is a small (1.2 MB) [[web browser]] for 32-bit versions of [[Microsoft Windows]]. It is a completely self-contained, stand-alone application with no dependencies of any library or component. Off By One was designed as a freeware demo of Home Page Software's commercial '''Webster Pro Control''' web browser object, which serves as Off By One's [[toolbar]] interface and [[layout engine]]. It provides full support for [[Hypertext Markup Language|HTML]] 3.2 and a number of popular image formats. 

==Features==
Off By One is developed to be a a fast and secure web browser. It includes the following features:  
*[[Tabbed browsing]], which more than one web page can be open in the same window.
* [[Animated GIF]] support where animations can be toggled.
* [[HTTP cookie]]s with the option to be disabled or set as session-only.
* [[Transport Layer Security|SSL]] support using [[OpenSSL]]. One also has the option to either turn it off, disabling the https: protocol, or a "fake SSL" mode where the browser will try to connect to a secured server using no encryption.
* Built-in support for [[WAV]] and [[AVI]].
* The ability to toggle behaviors such as opening pages in a new window, HTTP Referrer header, etc.

However, as a compromise for speed and size, Off By One lacks certain features, namely [[JavaScript]], plugins and [[Cascading Style Sheets]]. Its method of caching is quite different from that of most other browsers. It utilizes a "memory-resident caching" system. This means that all the information commonly cached in other web-browsers is kept only in the computer's memory until Off By One's process is closed. No data are stored on the disk for the next session. This includes on-line information about the user and visited pages (cookies), and web-pages' data (documents, graphics, scripts), except for the persistent [[HTTP]] cookies, which are stored in a single file in a directory where the Off By One executable file is located.

Off By One by default displays the [[user agent]] identifier "Mozilla/3.0 (compatible; OffByOne; &sys) Webster Pro V3.2" which is editable in Off By One's configuration file.
