2.Classic Menus To stick with tradition, the ALT key or the Tools menu provides easy access to those familiar classic menus of IE.
3.Web Search Use the search engine you prefer through one familiar search box, and change search providers on the fly from a handy drop-down menu.
4.Tabbed Browsing How often do you open a number of web pages with a similar theme? Well you can group these together under the same Internet Explorer window with tabbed browsing. A simple ctrl-click will open a link in your current window to a new tab.
5.Quick Tabs Once you have the tab group, Quick Tabs allows you to view all your tabbed pages as thumbnails, allowing you to quickly pick the page you want.
6.Favorites (Groups) Favorites are even easier, and you can even save those same tab groups you created for later use. Simply use the star to access saved pages or tab groups, or + to add the page or tab group to favorites.
