The small Internet Explorer shell extension has a great purpose in mind. It was designed with an average user in mind, and leaves no browser cookies, has no cache, no history, and does not have an embarassing auto-complete feature. However, recently, the browser has come under the attention of power users. Power users are criticizing the browser for search hijacking towards fully funded sites. Some power users also found the browser to not do its job completely. The man who invented Browzar, Amhed, denies that his program is adware. He wants to remind everyone that the program is still a beta, is not meant for the technical user, and can be removed simply by deleting the desktop icon.
