Exactly my point. Thats why I got rid of it. If it is the bland appearance of Internet Explorer or the lack of plugins then install Maxthon. It gives nice skins and a whole new set of icons, and all it does is lay on top of Internet Explorer, so you lose no functionality. I like it mostly because it has tabbed web pages. You can stack web pages on top of each other and click the tab to get to a different one. You can even create your own toolbars with icons that run apps. Best of all, it's free. Try it.
