All About Freeware

Hv3 is a new web browser that is available for use with Windows and Linux. I recently downloaded and tested it…

The browser downloads and installs quickly (only 2.5 MB). It isn’t quite as user friendly as the major browsers, but is generally easy to use.

Hv3 is not compatible with as many websites as IE 7.0 or Opera 9.x, but it does load and display some sites more quickly. It doesn’t show Google Adsense ads, which probably helps to speed things up.

Unlike older versions of MSIE and Netscape, it can display the Yahoo homepage, as well as eBay search results, AltaVista.com, and most other sites I visited.

However, it lacks a lot of features like password memory or advanced options, and “forgets” custom user settings when it is closed. The bookmarking system could use some improvement as well.

Nonetheless, I plan to keep Hv3 and use it for accessing some types of websites. Future versions will probably correct the above-mentioned minor issues.

You can download Hv3 here. Just click on the EXE file after it is downloaded; no need for an “unzip” utility.
