Cool Optool

Like most people, I have to flip back and forth between Firefox and IE (Maxthon, actually). There's no easy way to do it… unless you're running Optool. A longer right-click will invoke a menu that opens the current Web page in another browser! Easy as pie. Plus, you can resize the window, go to the Parent or Root URL, and monitor the clipboard for Web addresses. Nice, even if it's not quite ready for Maxthon. This isn't a plugin, though – it's a standalone (unobtrusive) utility for Windows.

Using GoToAssist is the easiest way to view and control another person's computer online. Use it to provide instant technical support to family, friends and customers. Start a session with just one click, and instantly connect with the other party.

Hey Chris, have you tried Crazy Browser lately? I got turned onto it by a friend at work and it seems really good. It doesn't have the features of Maxthon but it is still a really quick front end to IE that adds tabs that renders pages really really fast

Chris, try the FireFox IE Tab extension. It totally rocks. If you come to a page that doesn't render in FF, you hit a little icon in the FF status bar and it rerenders using the IE engine — in the same tab. You can also program it so that it always loads specific URLs using the IE engine.
No more two browsers!

Sorry for the anon post. The contact information didn't carry over from the preview function.
