ZAC Browser (which stands for Zone for Autistic Children) was a special web browser. It was made just for kids and teenagers who have autism spectrum disorders. These are conditions that can make it harder for people to communicate or interact with others.

Regular web browsers can sometimes feel too busy or confusing for some children with autism. They might have many buttons or show too much information at once. ZAC Browser was designed to be much simpler. It had fewer buttons and limited access to the wider internet. This helped make the online experience easier and less overwhelming.

ZAC Browser was available for free. You could download it for computers running Windows operating systems like 98, ME, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7.
