Before launching the highly anticipated Dolphin Browser HD v5.0, the team behind the popular browser for Android devices has announced yet another beta version.

Users who are waiting for the final version of the application can download the Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 beta3 to have a glimpse of the new features and improvements included.

In addition to some minor user interface changes, such as the new look of tab bar, the beta3 brings more powerful bookmark features.

The browser now supports importing bookmarks from original Dolphin Browser and stock browser without using Bookmarks to SD add-on. Moreover, for Android 3.0 devices, bookmarks sub-folders syncing is also supported in beta3 version.

Performance is another trait improved, as the browser now features easier and faster first launching step.

Basically, Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 beta3 skips the complicated setup wizard when the application is installed for the first time.

However, the setup wizard has not been completely removed; instead users can still access it by from the browser's Settings / Menu / More / Settings and choosing the Setup Wizard option.

Four add-ons have also been updated: Speed Dial, Alexa Rank, Shiny Shake and Screen Cut, along with the Blue theme.

According to the Dolphin development team, Orange, Red and Purple themes will also be updated to make them look more elegant. They will be included within the final release of Dolphin Browser HD v5.0.

Based on the feedback received, more bugs have been fixed in beta3, including the loading bar that keeps loading issue.

This is the last beta version publicly available before the final release of the application will be launched on Android Market.

If nothing bad happens, the final release of Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 will be available for download on May 31.

Dolphin Browser HD v5.0 beta3 is now available for download via Softpedia.
