    Duration of ownership: 3 Months

    Strengths: It has a lot of features

    Weaknesses: It has a very complex user interface and so many features are there which are not even useful

    Overall Evaluation: I guess PCworld should make Xtravo Explorer available for download. Check it out http://www.jawoco.com/

    Duration of ownership: 3 Years

    Strengths: Best interface of any browser. Ability to block ActiveX, Java, Images, Scripting, Flash, and more on the fly. Built in pop up and Ad Blockers. More complete tab browsing control than either Firefox or Internet Explorer 7.

    Weaknesses: Lacks a built in spell-checker. Only one search tool built in (Google).

    Overall Evaluation: This product is constantly being updated to surpass anything else released. It uses Microsoft IE 7 engine for superb rendering and security features. When it comes to getting where you want to go FAST, this is the toolset for the NET. Rendering times on test pages are 50 % faster than Firefox 2.0.1 (even with Ad Blocker Plus extension). If you use search engines other than Google, you can "Bookmark" them and keep them on the Links toolbar. If you really need the drop down changes, IE7 and Firefox 2.0.1 have them there already. This fine application also utilizes the mouse third wheel to swich between tabs. I have used this product for nearly 3 years now, and it only gets better with age. I am currently on ver 11.0 Build 43 . I am sure that more features will be soon available. Would recommend this product to nearly anyone, as it runs on both IE6 or IE7 engines. Microsoft could take a few hints from this design (also "skinnable") to update the offering of Internet Explorer.
