If you want an alternative to the Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE), have tried out Opera Mini and can’t wait for SkyFire then take a look at JB5. This browser is definitely faster than PIE, doesn’t need Java like Opera Mini and is available now unlike SkyFire. Among some of the features are Progressive rendering as content downloads (very fast), Bookmarks management (Import/Export), Save pages to your phone, Find/Search in page, a Download Manager, Save Images, display without Images, set as default browser, different display options, full screen, and more. Keep reading for more information about JB5

Some features I find interesting are:

  • Personalize Wizard – PIN protected logins for all the pages you visit that require usernames and passwords
  • Auto-Scroll – Many different speeds for scrolling up and down on a page, very handy
  • TABS! – yes different windows/tabs so you can do some multitasking

Below are some screenshots of various features:

There is a lot you can do with your bookmarks to make them more organized.

When you log into a page JB5 will ask if you want to save this information for future logins. The login information is protected by a PIN you designate.

The saved login information is accessible just like a bookmark.

Tabs/Windows; you can have several web pages open at once.

You can download JB5 from jataayu.net. It’s free and many more improvements are coming soon. They are very open to suggestions and comments so if you have a brilliant idea go ahead and send it up to them.

Enjoy!
