ie7 "functionality" in ie6... (Except it works)

Feb 15, 2006 12:04AM PST

For any that use ie6 and wish for that functionality that firefox provides (and ie7 promises will come) (I know, I know... just switch to Fire Fox...) a great free addon can be found at:

www.maxthon.com

Tabbed browsing, rss, group site opening, skins...

IE 7 is still in beta. I'm sure MS will take all the criticism and stuff and make whatever changes are appropriate. Until it's a final release; it's probably better to reserve judgement.
