Its terrific. To use your WindowsBlinds Skins simply disable skins in the appropriate menu. One major reason I like it is that ALL the Menu's are skined. As well as you can create dedicated skins for use with this FREE Browser(See the Help file to find out how).I havn't found any page it doesn't run (unlike Netscape,Opera,Mozilla)
Requires at least IE v4 installed

I'm using it also. Works very well and seems to like WindowBlinds just fine. Pop up blocking works great, and has great features.

I took a look at it and it looks cool. Another browser to think about using I guess.

Not bad. Good competitor to Netcaptor. One MAJOR complaint is I don't see a way to make new tabs open in the background. Am I missing that setting due to blindness?
I imagine in the next three versions or so it will overtake most of the other tabbed IE front ends. Good stuff!

It's like a cross between Phoenix and NetCaptor.
stark23x: To open a link in a new tab in the background, CTRL+SHIFT+left click. SHIFT+left click opens in a new tab in the foreground. To open a Favorite in the background, CTRL+click the favorite. I don't think any other browser/browser front-end allows you to do either on the fly (usually, you pick one opening behavior in preferences and are stuck with it).
