Couldn't get it to delte index.dat files. Viwer was slow. I prefer Index.dat Analyzer from Systenance. Quicker, only over-writes index.dat files but better than nothing.

When you browse the web, your computer leaves more traces behind than just the cookies and history file. Erasing your browser history and cookies from within Internet Explorer still leaves behind the index.dat file hidden away. On top of retaining an extensive list of the sites you have visited, it can also expose plain text passwords.

Based on the poor quality of their website design, I wouldn't download it. Also, I wonder if basing a browser on the same code as another browser is going to solve any problems. IE has a lot of problems and isn't terribly standards compliant. Why would I want something based on that? Just my two cents worth. I checked out Xtravo’s site at Jawoco.com.

I'll have to look into that. As for the registry, browsing history isn't really stored there. The MRU keys in the registry is more for applications such as Office, Photoshop, etc. So it tells about your computer use. I haven’t tried that add-on. I’ll have to look into that.

For instance, where I work, there is only one piece of software to accomplish the field work and it only runs on Windows. Also, our web-based applications were developed to run on IE and aren't very compatible with Firefox due to CSS rendering problems.
