Not quite sure what to say here. Most of the content for this huge article was written by a PR Firm. 20 of the references are to Bitstream press releases. And the text reads exactly like you would expect. "BOLT is attracting more than 45,000 downloads every day" "It’s been fascinating to see the similarities in how BOLT is being used by people all over the world" "BOLT features unrivaled speed" "BOLT is optimized for resource constrained devices, thus providing a very fast browsing experience compared to native browsers" "BOLT uses Patent pending technology to render complex Indic languages text" "The cloud-based servers compress the data reaching the device by as much as 24 times, resulting in speeding up page load times by two to three times compared to other browsers". Any comments? ~a ( user • talk • contribs) 07:01, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
I agree. There is no harm in having a changelog but any "making it clearly the best", "unrivalled in", "the superior choice" type stuff where the cite is to Bitstream themselves should all be removed. Anything that seems advertising but can be cited to a third-party I see no harm in keeping. 86.145.210.31 ( talk) 06:18, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved to Bolt (web browser). Clear consensus that the capitalization had to go. I chose to follow Jafeluv's suggestion, except that "web browser" appears to be the common disambiguator, e.g. Opera (web browser). Favonian ( talk) 16:36, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Bolt Browser → BOLT Browser – Much more appropriate and correct name, per the capitalization of the browser name itself. LikeLakers2 ( talk | Sign my guestbook!) 05:00, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
The link in note 1 appears to lead to a private space of a user account on a website unrelated to the subject matter. I feel this is inappropriate, and the link should be altered or removed accordingly.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on
Bolt (web browser). Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.

Large portions of the article resemble promotional material and include unsubstantiated (or claims without a source). I'll try to find sources for un-sourced information and remove all promotional content. I'd appreciate any help with this. 109.252.91.122 ( talk) 11:16, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
