What is Foxie?

Now you can surf the web with ease and comfort. Foxie (fox + ie; pronounced /Foxy/) is a collection of free security, privacy and productivity tools developed by the Foxie Team. It was originally designed to bridge the gap between Internet Explorer and Mozilla FireFox (an open source web browser developed by the Mozilla Foundation) but soon grew in scope and size to offer additional unique features not found on any stand alone browser.

Foxie empowers you to browse faster, more safely and more efficiently than with any other browser by blending tabbed browsing, ads & pop-up blocking, Malware cleansing and privacy & security protection with our smart search capabilities to enhance your browsing experience. Foxie is not a web browser and fits seamlessly into your IE browser.

to me looks like a big piece of cr*p.

even plagiarizing getfirefox homepage it just includes a bunch of "tools" like an adaware/spyware searcher that detected my .hta files association like a "virus hidden on my system", it also tried to remove some of my custom startup entries.

ie main window looks weird using a custom small icon size (32x32) plus the interface is just the plain ie with some buttons and multitab

get maxthon or get firefox but you better get far from foxie

Apparently you all missed the CCleaner rip-off there too.

But nothing can make me switch from IE7 (except IE8+ )

Foxie is a piece of crap! IE7 and Firefox are much, much better.

woowh that sucks.... CCleaner is a good program and shouldnt be copied without permission..... stupid n00bs there on foxie

[HybridShadow]

How do you knowis not better than firefox,

EDIT: I read the feature list and it does ad alot of great features to IE

It cant be a complete ripoff of Firefox, because opera had alot of those features before Firefox

It does improve IE ALOT

Ok, I know this thread is old but there is some updated info on Foxie.

The new version installs an internet worm using its firewall.exe.

This internet worm is still unknown but is an modified version of

Don't depend on your antivirus or spyware scanners, so far nothing detects this unknown worm.

If you already installed Foxie and your having computer problems the only way to fix them is to reinstall Windows.

Thanks.
