A fully-functional in-browser clone of Internet Explorer 11, featuring a meticulously recreated Windows 7 Aero Glass UI.

It has aero style frosted glass textures, the classic sunken back orb, and simple tab management. Best of all, it's fully functional: it includes built-in CORS proxies for live web surfing, a classic favorites bar, and a ugly old style dark mode.

• Frosted Glass Textures: Uses complex CSS linear-gradient layering and backdrop-filter: blur() to create the Windows 7 aero desktop bleed-through effect.
• The Blue Orb: The IE back button has been recreated, sitting perfectly flush (-15px margin) against the tab bar.
• Classic Iconography: Features the traditional Favorites star, Tools gear, and clean white iconography with sharp dark outlines.

• Built-in Proxies: Navigating modern the web inside an iframe is tricky due to modern security headers. This project utilizes a rotating fallback of public proxies (allorigins.win, corsproxy.io, codetabs.com) to fetch, inject base tags, and render live websites seamlessly.
• Loading States: Features a URL bar spinner and status bar text updates during network requests.

• Create, switch, and close multiple browsing sessions simultaneously.
• Automatically fetches and renders the correct favicon for the active website.
• Maintains a separate history stack (Back/Forward) for each individual tab.

• Favorites Bar: A classic toggleable bookmarks bar.
• Dark Mode: A built-in theme toggler inside the Tools menu.
• Custom Fallback Screens: Classic "This page can't be displayed" error screens for timed-out proxy requests.

Because this project is built entirely with vanilla front-end technologies, there are no build steps, package managers, or local servers required! download and do whatever.
