EMBEDDED BROWSERS
|
The Advantage of Embedded Internet Explorer.
A browser which embeds IE is not IE. Browser developers embed IE's Trident rendering engine into their browsers to provide better compatibility between their browser and web pages designed specifically for IE. It allows developers to leverage the existing IE code base to develop their own "IE-like" browser, but with their own unique features and options. The "embedded IE" concept is a win-win for both developers and consumers, and provides a valuable and useful feature.
Maxthon Tabbed Browser is a multi-page free web browser with an IE engine and customizable interface. Its features include form filling, auto-scrolling, plugin support, external tools, newsgroup-browsing, mouse gestures, skins, auto-hide, pop-up blocking, extended Unicode, theme support and enhanced toolbars.
