Introduction

Unlike FireFox users, many Internet Explorer users don't seem to be aware that there are also many Internet Explorer add-ins available. Admittedly, Internet Explorer has nothing like the sheer variety that FireFox users can obtain, but the add-ins reviewed here do a pretty solid job of enhancing your surfing experience.

All of these tools have FireFox equivalents, which are often available from the same download source.

Internet Explorer users probably already know that they can also easily add the Google Toolbar, the Yahoo Toolbar, and the Windows Live Toolbar, so these products are not reviewed here. (But see also Best Free Search Toolbar.)
