Cool Internet Explorer addon

Ive been using this new browser which mask IE with lots of features. Its pretty fast, and has a ton of cool features. It even has a built in 'pop-up' blocker that actually works! Just thought I pass it on.

Good find - I just installed it, and so far it seems to work well.

As of now, to me the best feature is the clickable back/forward functions. I'm actually having to learn NOT to move the mouse to the toolbar buttons!

Very convenient for my laptop, where the touchpad is always a bit more tedious to use then a real mouse.

I'll be playing with this more for sure, but so far, A+

I just downloaded it and I think its pretty nice. One thing I don't like is you can't hold down your mouse wheel to move the page up or down. I like that it can now open a link in a new window though. I guess you just can't have it do both things.

Ah, i didnt notice you cant do that. I never use that feature, but if you want to use it with Avant Browser, goto "Tools, Avant Browser Option, Mouse Buttons". Uncheck the box that says "Enable middle mouse button to open new webpages". This is a feature that IE didnt have, so I guess it replaced it. Its nice that you have a choice what you can do, unlike IE (Microsoft loves to do that.)

Good find. The pop up blocker is the best feature by far. Those pop ups really **** me off sometimes. Thanks for the info.
