UdiWWW

UdiWWW -- UdiWWW is an easy to use freeware web browser available in both 16 and 32-bit versions. Although it does lack the speed and advanced features of browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer, it is still a surprisingly strong browser and is not too terribly far behind the leaders. Features currently implemented in the browser include full tables, mailto, and HTML 3 support; global font sizing capability; extensive configuration settings; PNG and progressive JPEG image support; frames and other Netscape extensions; caching; an advanced bookmark management utility; support for proxies and much more. Unfortunately, UdiWWW is currently missing too many features to make it a viable download when so many superior browsers are as easily attainable. Features missing relative to the competition include news and ftp support, targeted windows, a 'new window' command for launching multiple sessions, client side image mapping, security, and more. In addition, UdiWWW is one of the slower web browsers on the 'net. Overall, 'web browsers' is simply too competitive a category for UdiWWW to be a serious contender for now.
