About RMIT

UltraBrowser

This is another special case browser, although certainly intended as your main browser. You could say that this is a wholesale product looking for distributors, although it is very functional in its own right and is free to download in its basic form.

By registering the product you can gain the ability to personalise and redistribute in that form. You can have a professional-looking browser with customised logos, colours, and menu settings on every desktop. Full branding and customisation of browser layout and language is also possible at a price.

Unfortunately it has no zoom or tabbed windows and the history list is a little hard to find. The history list can be found in the menu which strangely appears as a small button to the right of the address bar. Various search engines are supported by the search toolbar/tab. It takes a little convincing to open without going online, but it is possible, should you have the need.

UltraBrowser is dependent on Internet Explorer running under Windows. Technical support is unspecified, but it is likely to be provided in part by the corporations or ISP's that choose to have their names attached to the product. Product price is offset by potential for advertising dollars.
