About Your IE Settings
&brandShortName; has a new feature that imports your existing settings from
Internet Explorer. It will run when you first install &brandShortName; (and
is also available later through File > Import),
and it attempts to import your IE Favorites, cookies, stored passwords, and a
variety of other data. This saves you time customizing &brandShortName; to fit
your needs.
&brandShortName;'s Features
Tabbed Browsing: Instead of opening a separate browser
window for each site you want to visit, you can open multiple sites within
the same window and tab between them. You can also set a group of tabs as
your home page.
Pop-up Window Controls: Lets you allow or suppress both
popup and popunder windows.
Profile Manager: Create, edit, or delete profiles, each
with its own bookmarks, options, and browsing data. This is useful if you must
share &brandShortName; on the same computer with other people, or if you want
to keep your work and personal settings separate.
Cookie Manager: Lets you change what &brandShortName; will
do when accepting cookies.
Download Manager: Organizes your downloads by storing
them in a single window to minimize clutter. You have full access to
download statistics without using unnecessary multiple windows for each
download.
Image Manager: Enables you to disable images from certain
Web sites or disable them altogether. This is useful if you wish to decrease
the amount of time it takes for Web sites to load.
Keyboard Shortcuts
You will notice that Microsoft Internet Explorer and &brandShortName; share many of
the same shortcut keys. For a full list of shortcut keys, see the
List of &brandShortName; Keyboard Shortcuts.
