It’s interesting to see some of the smaller developers who like to take a browser, from a heavyweight such as Google, then turn this in to their own project. It happened with Internet Explorer. There are a number of derivatives that use the IE engine that ships with Windows, then produce their own browser around these components.
ChromePlus is an upgraded version of the publically available Google Chrome v3.x. The developers have taken then source code then added their own features. For example, ChromePlus enables you to use ‘super drag’ which means you can highlight a link and then drag that to your new page tab to open in another tab. Mouse gestures enable you to perform commands with a quick mouse movement within the browser, whilst IE tab offers Internet Explorer functionality within its own tab. Ideal if certain websites claim they will only work with Internet Explorer.
The problem with these ‘updated’ versions of web browsers is that it’s always going to be difficult to convince end users to use a browser from an unknown developer. A browser uses so much private and important information, that it takes a lot to convince users. However, it will be interesting to see the progress of this alternative version of the Google Chrome web browser.

Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Been using google chrome for some time and loved the speed a clean interface for browsing, only downside was some sites prefer IE8 or FF so needed two browsers. Now have Chrome Plus and the IE tab saves me the hassle, just set those url's to open in IE tab as default. Recommend you download and give it a try
