Editors’ Review

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.

What’s new in version 11.0

In version 11.0, many of the top sites are now accessible from drop-down menus within UltraBrowser. Added convenience to search Google from either the Address bar or the Search Box (located to the right of the address bar).

It's fast,and a very good browser.WOULD keep it but...
cflexnet1June 9, 2012
Pros
It's very fast,and has a lot of extras it had I think,when I downloaded it eons ago.I like it as a secondary browser,and would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple fast browser.
Cons
The main characters are microscopic small.I need a magnifying glass to read them.The settings to make them larger is for the web pages,or your home page you choose.ANYONE...How do you uninstall this thing???It's not in my "program and features" to be uninstalled.Anyone...please respond.
Summary
All in all,it's a pretty simple browser...fast to load,and some pretty good features.Speed is a requisite of mine when it comes to browsers,and this browser has it.
Simple and satisfying

Pros
It's a simple and easy to use browser. Has lots of features at your fingertips.
Cons
Can't customize default search provider.
Summary
With all the browsers out there, it's good to see one out there that's not some bloated piece of crap like Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Keep up the good work.
Wait a minute please!!

Pros
I think you will agree to me that this program is a small application, and very fast to boot
Cons
On the other hand, if your gonna browse the net just be careful, cause I think this browser is NOT that safe like Firefox or Opera
Summary
Interesting it is not a browser
bhdykeFebruary 2, 2006
Pros
looks like several of the opera skins I have seen.
Cons
It is not a browser. I looks like a browser but is not. I hope that IE can come up with a better portal C/S director. Get Firefox it is at least a real browser. NO tabbed development. I see nothing useful hav e instructed my customers to not use it because it is without any real security. Not even a blip.
Summary
Neither that good or bad.

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.

Another one?
goldengreekeMay 23, 2005
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.
Summary
too simple!
mr.correctMay 20, 2005
Pros
only with the translator and the simple browser
Cons
I have common sense!I have four browsers before.But i have netscape 7.1,ie6sp1,mozilla firefox and opera 8.0.I recommend you to use these 4 programs.
