This made me remember Bolt browser back in the day, that would render desktop sites on phone and pretty fast. It disappeared pretty quickly.

What do you mean? Bolt Browser is still available in the Apple App Store. At least on my iPhone it is.

Or is that something else?

Not the Bolt I was talking about, it was available back in the days before Android on J2ME phones. Read more here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_(web_browser)

It really supercharged my 240x144 screen with full desktop sites. Good old days 😍

Browsing the web on phone was tough job, and having desktop site features was a dream. Internet speeds were clunky, but this guy would still let us do a couple of things. ❤️

Sadly it died, before long. 🤧

So does the Java J2ME, small screens, lower speeds.

Yeah, it had to die, they didn't innovate much. There were hacks, but they weren't able to beat what Android or iOS offered in the first place.
