CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Internet Explorer needs a face-lift--but UltraBrowser, built on the IE engine, doesn't add much to the familiar Microsoft package. It's small enough to fit on a disk, and we liked the streamlined interface, but the program uses a bit more system memory than IE, and we noticed no improvements in performance. This browser is slightly more attractive than IE and includes a few very basic skins, but you'll have to download them from the developer's site. UltraBrowser provides a panel for quickly accessing search engines, but it can't search several at once. Also, as with IE, UltraBrowser lacks tabbed browsing, so it has to open a separate window for each Web page; Firefox and Opera users who've grown accustomed to tabs will probably consider that a deal breaker on its own. The browser's major distinctive feature is its ability to store favorites online. Nothing about UltraBrowser will persuade a non-IE user to switch, but it might attract those looking for a compact, IE-compatible Web browser with a few extra features.Publisher's description
From UltraBrowser :UltraBrowser is a small browser application providing users with the option to choose among multiple themes and two toolbar settings (a standard size and a slim version for optimized Web-page viewing). The application contains a pop-up blocker and a password-protected Web-based bookmark manager for storing favorites on the Web, accessing them from other computers, and sharing them with others. You also get autotransferring of IE Favorites into the browser, an integrated multisearch panel with access to popular engines enabling one-click querying, built-in Google autosearching from the URL bar, Web-document translation, and a media panel for TV, radio, and the news. The application also has a convenient single-menu button for all the important functions and settings; and easy access to default e-mail, Web mail, and popular instant messengers.
Version 10.02 supports multiple skins.

Version: UltraBrowser 10.02
Pros: skins.
Cons: Instead of Microsoft comming out with another IE upgrade every two weeks, why, with all their money and resourses don't they make a browser that can compete with Firefox and Opera? If you took all the IE browsers, Maxthon,Slim,Avant,Easy,Fast,Gogo,Enigma,(just to name a few I've tried)and put them all together into one, then they might have a fantastic browser. I'm still waiting, I know they will have one some day, hopefully.

Version: UltraBrowser 10.02
Pros: Well, the skins are a nice addition over previous versions. Using this browser, you can store your favorites online. Very neat and simple interface.
Cons: There are no real reasons, other than the simple interface, to use this over IE. In fact, with the new MSN Search Bar that includes a tabbed browsing mode, IE has more features than this. You won't be able to use any of the usual plug-ins for this, and it provides you with none. The only changes to this browser are solely cosmetic changes, and they are not amazing. If you know someone who needs a simple interface, then this may be useful, but other than that, it is just a small facelift for IE.
