For those of you who still like to use Internet Explorer over Firefox, I know there must be a few of you still out there,  There is a application called Maxthon that runs off of IE’s core program and adds many cool and useful features that you only wish IE or Firefox had.

Tabbed Browsing

Tabs aren’t new and other browsers have them but Maxthon in my opinion does the best job of implementing them in there browser.

Groups

You no doubt have heard of favorites but have you heard of groups? Groups makes it easier for you to save groups of favorites and instantly bring all them up with a click of a button. This really saves time when I want to look at all of my geeky websites, I just go to my geeky website group and one click brings them all up.

Magic Fill

Magic fill is a spin off to IE’s remember your password, it allows you to easily manage your passwords and edit them as you change passwords.

Screen Capture

We all know Snagit rules the screen capture scene but if you need to quickly capture something there is no beating Maxthon’s screen capture tool for ease of use.

Ad Hunter

Enough with those pesky ad’s and popus, Maxthon stops them cold and easily allows you to edit any website where you find the ad to irresistible to resist.

Built in RSS Reader

feed

If you haven’t discovered RSS then your wasting a lot of time on the internet. See here for more info on what RSS is. Maxthon has it’s own built in RSS reader to display your favorite feed’s all in one place, albeit it doesn’t have all the features as the big boys but its convenient to have all of them in one place to look at while your still browsing.

 

These are just a few features that make Maxthon the best browser in my opinion.
