Like Google Chrome, but wish it had just a few more features like support for mouse gestures and the ability to use the Internet Explorer rendering engine to access some web pages that don't play well with Webkit?
ChromePlus is a browser built on Chrome that does all those things, plus a few more. It also has the following features:
- Double click a tab to close a page
- Drag a link on any page to a new point on the page to open link in a new tab
- Support for download tools in the right-click context menu
I had no problems with ChromePlus on a 32-bit Windows XP system, but
Lee found that it didn't play well with his computer running the x64 version of Windows 7. Your results may vary.

Sounds good, too bad I'm on XP 64-bit. 64-bit is always left out, like that little fiasco with the MSN messenger upgrade yesterday.

I cannot get it to open IE specific sites as in "IE Tab"
But, I sure like the idea of having someone do what the Avant browser does with IE, because Google Chrome is slow at adopting to the "IE Tab" concept
When I get Chrome to open IE specific sites, e.g., many Microsoft sites, good by FireFox

My Bad: I got the ChromePlus to mimic "Open in IE Tab"
I closed out ChromePlus, restarted, and there it is in the Wench: "New in IE Tab"
I go to a site I want to open, right click, and there it is "Open Link in New IE Tab"
Beautiful! Thank you, Developers
