Introduction (from Download.com)
MyIE2 is a multipage browser based on the Internet Explorer core (IE 5.x or 6.0 required). It can open multiple Web pages in just one window, and it only takes a small amount of system resources when you’re surfing with the integrated user interface. It also supports special plug-ins and IE extensions, and features include autoscroll, form autofilling, external tools, plug-in support, newsgroup browsing mode, mouse gestures, customizable skins, and an autohide panel.

Lets go about these one by one:
Tabbed Browsing Interface
This ensures that all web-pages you open all stay within the browser window, so you don’t clutter your task bar. It is really a boon, especially if you are like who opens windows in whole sale ;-)
You see the variouis web-pages as tabs either at top or bottom of the window. Those who may have used Opera would be familiar with this.
Mouse Gestures
A fabulous addition to the program. Now you can close windows, open new windows, refresh, move backwards and forwards all using Mouse Gestures. Saves a lot of time to do these simple tasks
Super Drag&Drop
With ’Super Drag&Drop’ enabled, you can open new links by simply drag and drop the link on the page. And you can also drag&drop the selected text, then it will open as a new link or being searched using default search engine. With the Ctrl key pressed down, then drag and drop any content on the page, they will be saved automatically into the predefined directory.
Privacy Protection
Worried about your privacy? With myIE2, your concerns are easily taken care of. Within the Tools Menu, it provides you with the option to erase your cookies, cache, address and browsing history easily and even automatically.
AD Hunter
Fed up of those ads?
MyIE2 blocks flash ads, banner ads and popups, animated gifs etc. A real boon while surfing the net on our slower connections. You could use Auto Filter to block popup ads or setup a Filter List for more accurate and customized blocking.
Quick Web Services
MyIE2 provides you with quick access to Translation engines right from the address bar. In addition you also have search services embedded in the browser. e.g. just entering a word and pressing enter automatically displays the Google Search results. You can also add your own Web-services.
GoogleBar Support
This is such a great feature that it is documented seperately.
Quoted from their site:
’’Can GoogleBar be installed and running in the third party browsers besides IE? Even Google will tell you ’NO’. But we can say ’ YES ’. Just take a look below. it’s a 100% True GoogleBar with 100% functionalites. Using GoogleBar with MyIE2 can expose more power of Google, because you can use it with multiple web site at the same time!’’
Basically, Google Bar is a toolbar by Google.com which helps you to search Google easily. It is feature rich with also support to block Popup-ads and makies browsing and search a breeze.
External Utility Bar
You can use this to start up external programs by a click of a button in MyIE2. You could even set them to start and shut down with MyIE2 automatically.
Favourite Bar
Quoted: ’’In addition to the Links bar, MyIE2 provides an additional Favourite Bar for better access. It saves one click per favourite for you and provide an easy way to manage your favourites.
With MyIE2’s Favourite bar, you could open all favourite items inside one catalog. And you have the option to open the ’Most Favorites’, which is set in the Favourite side bar. You can also use the right click menu to manage your favourite items.’’
Skinning
For those look good people who even want to make their browser look different, myIE2, MyIE2 supports flexible customized skins. You can visit the Skin site at https://skinnable.com/myie2/
Additional Features
These are a few undocumented features, which I find worth mentioning
Plugin-Support
MyIE2 supports plugins which helps you to extend the software to do real cool stuff. The MyIE2 combo pack comes with FlashSave, ViewSource, EnableRightClick, TextHighlighter, Up a Directory, Weather.
Besides, it also has support for AIRoboform (https://roboform.com) which is a Form-filler and Password Utility. Once you use this, you wont use anything else.
There is also support for Yahoo! bar, Googlebar, Flashget Bar, UCMore search accelerator and many other plugin as you can find on their site.
Multi-Proxy
MultiProxy , as a proxy software, is easy to use. It realizes the proxy verification and the agent auto distribution. You have to set an available proxy under MultiProxy and then to have other proxy-based software to point to MultiProxy.
Links List
Use ’’View ... page link...’’ to list all available links on the current webpage. You may use the filter feature to list your preferred link list .(Quick key Alt+L)
Domain Autocompletion
Use Ctrl+Enter, Shift+Enter or Ctrl+Shift+Enter, the combination keys, to help you automatically complete the input of a domain address in the address bar. This feature automates the input process by adding the prefix https:// and the corresponding suffix like .com, .net, .org and so on in the address bar.
Few negative points
Here are a few points that have ’irritated’ me, but may not do you.
. I noticed that they don’t have a Link Bar. They do have their Favorites bar, but I preferred the links.
. The browser doesn’t have a ’’Open This page in IE’’, a very nice feature which lets you open the current webpage in Internet Explorer. This is supported in Crazy Browser, and I hope they implement it in MyIE2
. If the browser window is open and you use preview functions in certain programs, it catches these links. This is can be a bit irritating.
Yet again, these are not big drawbacks. The software is updated continuously.
