## About Your IE Favorites and Settings

When you first install &brandShortName;, it will import your existing Internet Explorer settings, including your Favorites, cookies, stored passwords, and a variety of other data. This saves you time customizing &brandShortName; to fit your needs.

## &brandShortName;'s Features

- Tabbed Browsing: Instead of opening a separate browser window for each site you want to visit, you can open multiple sites within the same window and tab between them. You can also set a group of tabs as your home page. For more information see Tabbed Browsing.
- Pop-up Window Controls: Lets you allow or suppress both popup and popunder windows.
- Cookie Manager: Lets you change what &brandShortName; will do when accepting cookies.
- Download Manager: Organizes your downloads by storing them in a single window to minimize clutter. You have full access to download statistics without using unnecessary multiple windows for each download.
- Image Manager: Enables you to disable images from certain web sites or disable them altogether. This is useful if you wish to decrease the amount of time it takes for web sites to load.

## Keyboard Shortcuts
