CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Slick, sleek, and sassy, this Web browser performed very well during our tests. Ace Explorer installs quickly and opens automatically. A toolbar of icons keeps most features at your fingertips, including e-mail, Web page editing, font changes, zooming, and even browsing via proxy server. New Web pages open as tabs within the main page, not as separate windows. Not exactly a subtle slam at Internet Explorer, Ace Explorer is a reliable alternative to other mainstream browsers. With a built-in pop-up blocker, too, this just may be your next favorite Web browser.Publisher's description
From Advanced Search Technologies :Ace Explorer incorporates a large collection of powerful features, such as a built-in pop-up killer, a skinnable window frame, a form filler, site groups, quick search, autologin, hidden sites, built-in commands and scripting, online translation, script-error suppression, blacklist/whitelist filtering, and URL aliases. It brings you convenient and comfortable browsing.

Version: Ace Explorer 2
Pros: Its popup blocker is amazing! With IE I went with PUB on to a site with lots of PUs and 7 made it through, with FF 4, Opera 1, Ace Browser 0!

"Good ad blocker, but very plain"
Pros: This watered down, or filtered explorer takes out all the crap IE puts in. They add in a very effective ad blocker, not even just pop-ups up in browser blocking, which is the best reason to keep this browser.
It is faster than IE, so that is a plus for IE users.
Cons: The look is very plain and dated. Adding a link into the link toolbar is awkward and favicons don't work with it. Only in the tabs do they show up.
There are some basic "mouse gestures" which are awkward to preform.
You also cannot change the default search, which isn't google. Nor can you take out the large and in the way search tool bar.
