MyIE2

A couple of weeks ago I saw mention of MyIE2 from Robert's Blog.  Tonight I finally got a chance to play around with it and it's pretty cool.  I think I'm going to use it as my web browser for a while. Here is a list of things that I like:

  • Tabbed web pages(only one icon in my taskbar yeah)
  • Ability to open a group of pages with a single click
  • Ability to turn on an option that will open all links in another tab
  • Easy clicking on tabs to close them
  • Skinable interface
  • ... and lots of options that allow you to customize it the way you want
Does anyone else know of any other browsers that give you these types of ablities?  Or have anything to say about MyIE2?  I have already looked at Crazy Browser, Avant Browser, and Netscape 7.

the shortcut groups and mouse gestures (select and drag a url to open in a new tab, drag picture to save to My Pictures folder, click+drag for back and forward navigation) in MyIE2 have had me hooked on it for months. I've used the browser it was "inspired by" and I think MyIE2's feature set beats them all.

I've been using SlimBrowser on and off for a few months. Does everything you have listed and has a nice popup blocker.

Mozilla (try the latest release), is the open-source version of netscape 7
http://www.mozilla.org

It is much more advanced and has all this features (and much more)

If you want to add special features you can go the http://www.mozdev.org which hosts many mozilla add-in projects and look at:
http://multizilla.mozdev.org/ (a better tabbing interface for mozilla)

http://optimoz.mozdev.org/ (allows gesturing with your mouse)

And Others

Enjoy

Mozilla Firebird (formally known as Phoenix) all the way. It strips all the cruft off the normal Mozilla browser (no mail, news, composer, irc stuff) and gives you a thin, but full featured browser. Its skinnable and has extensions to provide mouse gestures, radial menus, etc.

As an added bonus, it renders the MSDN web site almost perfectly; better than any non-MS browser I've ever seen.

- Multiple tabs :
Instead of multiple tabs in the task bar, you have multiple tabs in your browser. What an improvement, indeed!


- Ability to open a group of pages with a single click :
You geek! This spirit is much like reading 20 news sites every day, even though they are all saying the same thing.


- Easy clicking on tabs to close them :
Would have amazed me if that turned out to be a lengthy and tedious process.


- Skinable interface :
Why? Aren't the web pages skinned enough already ?

Hey Wes! I use http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/ as my browser. You forgot popup blocking for myie2. I use that at work since whoever coded our works intranet site didnt stick to the standards so it only works right in IE engine based browsers. Check out the Utility manager for myie2. I use that instead of the quick launch bar in windows.

I can't critisize the skinning....you have seen my XP setup!! haha
