Two popular utilities for you to download to spice things up during the weekend, courtesy of Majorgeeks.

MyIE2 is a multi-tabbed browser based on the IE core (IE5.x or above required). It can open multiple web pages within one browser window, and uses little system resources.
In general, MyIE2 (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1244) adds many of the features we like and love from Mozilla and Opera but using IE's functionality.

XP-AntiSpy is a little utility that let's you disable some built-in update and authetication 'features' in WindowsXP.
XP-AntiSpy (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2062) is a must-have for disabling certain Windows XP features that could compromise your privacy, in one click.

Quite a good download. Thanks, Julio!

Incidentally, one can download a "lite" version of the program (550kb installer, without extra plugins that may not be needed, and less chance of spyware installed together with them I suppose), by visiting the myIE2 homepage and checking out the download section.

I've been using MyIE2 for about a year. It's a wonderful enhancer to IE and has no spyware. The tabbed browsing is super. The program has a steep learning curve, but it has forum of nice people who are very helpful. I highly recommend it.

There is No Spyware when and if you install the version with plugins. Check it out - you might find your online experience highly improved. :)

Until recently I was more inclined to keep using IE as my primary web browser but not anymore, it just took some time to get used to but Mozilla Firebird is really great, I wonder what will come with next versions.

Mozilla Firebird :grinthumb

I switched from Avant browser to firebird a week ago and so far it's great. it's fast, stable has loads of skins ot choose from and lots of add on features you can install.
