IE plugins for VIEW IN (other browsers)
When developing websites... checking the layout and visual appeal of the site in multiple browsers is a necessary evil. Copying the URL in the IE, firing off a Mozilla or FireFox session and then pasting in the URL is an annoyance when done occasionally. When its done a number of times in quick succession it can become a major pain.

Below is a link offering plugins that add functionality to IE that permits right- click invocation of a different browser.

View in Lynx
View in Avant
View in FireFox
View in Mozilla
View in Opera
