Since its debut, UBvision has been installed in thousands of machines throughout the world - the application itself is very small (830kb) and contains a host of features not seen in other browsers. It's a fast, powerful, and flexible browser application with integrated multi-search functionality, web based bookmark manager (MyUltra) that lets you store your favorites on the web, import your IE favorites and access them anywhere, a global multimedia directory (TV, Radio, Music), easy access to the popular IMs, default email & web mail services, translate web documents into several languages, and change the look of the browser by choosing a theme from the skin library. The browser was designed to be very flexible, so there are few limits on how you interpret what the browser should look like.

Why would *anyone* voluntarily choose to use a browser like this? MSN Explorer will save favorites remotely, if you absolutely feel the need to store your personal favorites remotely, but there are browsers like "32 Bit Browser", "Crazy Browser", Smart Explorer, etc, all of which provide actual functionality. Heck, carry your favorites on a floppy, but this thing has SPAM and privacy invasion written all over it.

CRAP CRAP CRAP I went to the website and it just sits there on the intro page so I downloaded it from ZDnet. After I installed it First thing I see is that WindowBlinds doesn't work on it Sorta I couldn't see the theme I'm using but the outline of the theme was there sort of like seeing my browser floating there. Another thing my pop up stopper didn't work with it at all. I already new the browser was going to suck I mean no good browsers have to resort to spamming for people to use it. I've never heard of spam from Mozilla, Opera or even Crazy Browser. I unistalled it in less then a minute.
