In today's day and age of multiple viable browsers, it
can be a minor annoyance to have to copy and paste URLs from one browser window to another to move a page from, say,
Opera to Firefox. Or IE to Netcaptor. Or Maxthon to Firefox. You get the picture.
For many, simply having the
option of rendering a page with the IE engine as an alternative to Firefox is all you need; in that case give the IE Tab Firefox extension a whirl. It can render a page using IE right in a tab in
Firefox. Very cool.
But for those with more challenging multiple browser scenarios, Optool is the solution. With the tap of a hot-key, or an ingenious long
right-click, a page can be moved from one browser to another with no fuss, no muss. Out of the box, Optool supports and
can automatically detect Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer (multiple installations), Netcaptor, and Netscape.
And if that's not quite enough for you (hey, where's Maxthon?!) you can manually
configure additional browsers.
Optool is not quite free, although it's close. If you find
you use it regularly, the author of Optool requests that you send him a postcard from your location. Hey, that's not
too much to ask, right?
