Inforworld :
Browzar automatically deletes Internet caches, histories, cookies and auto-complete forms. Auto-complete is the feature that anticipates the search term or Web address a user might enter by relying on information previously entered into the browser.Our collegues from Web3.0log
tested the application. Their verdict :
"New Secure Browser Browzar is Fake and Full of Adware".Plenty of websites posted about Browzar without getting into the subject, showing how fragile reporting can be. Techcrunch :
Browzar appears to be nothing but a simple shell to IE which forces Overture ads on its own users. The creators didn't write a cache or history function, calling this a feature, and users are unable to change the search function or home page to anything other than Browzar ad results.This sounds just like Microsoft software. People simply believe the lies spread by the creators and start complaining afterwards.

I'm quite happy with Firefox or Maxtron. They best browsers out there. I have not been using IE for quite some time now...Ever since Win 95, I'd enough nightmares with IE already. Going back is gonna tough. Open source is the way to go and no shell app using the IE engine is going be a "breakthrough". I can't believe it came from some one who gave away free internet in UK. You'd think he's rich enough to be pulling a stunt like this.
