Bolt Browser 1.6 releases with ability to set as default web browser and enhanced rendering
by The PocketBerry Team
Earlier this morning, we got the word that Bolt Browser 1.6 has gone through a nice update. So what’s new? Just as you could on a PC or Mac, you can set Bolt Browser to be your default browser. Also, two versions of Bolt have been created to cater to every kind of consumer possible. A lite version was created for those who are counting kilobytes on their devices and a full version is out as well for those who have plenty of megabytes to spare.
This newest release of BOLT includes a number of important design enhancements, as well as incremental improvements driven by BOLT’s users. For all mobile data networks that support it, BOLT 1.6 now offers full socket-based connectivity which can increase the page rendering speed of BOLT by as much as 15 percent. BOLT 1.6 also includes a new password manager, allowing usernames and passwords to be saved by the browser for easier and faster logins to users’ favorite websites and online applications.
Responding to a frequent request from BOLT’s BlackBerry smartphone users, BOLT 1.6 can now be set as the default browser on their smartphones. A version of BOLT created specifically for BlackBerry smartphones not only has all the features of BOLT, but also includes default BlackBerry shortcuts and optimizations.
