Deepnet Explorer is the world's first browser to offer fully integrated P2P file sharing capabilities and a built-in RSS/ATOM news reader. With features like tabbed browsing, pop blocking, auto login, form filler and P2P technology.
Deepnet Explorer is designed not to support IE’s browser helper objects and browser plug-ins, for the purpose of enhanced security
However it does play Flash animations (but maybe that's not what they mean with 'browser plug-ins').
UA string: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; Q312461; Deepnet Explorer)
(this is on my good old Win ME box)
The RSS/Atom and Gnutella clients are nicely integrated and seem easy to use.
Regarding webbrowsing features it's not very different from MyIE2/Maxthon and the Avant Browser: tabbed browsing, auto fill forms, et cetera.
New features in v. 1.3: Phishing Alarm, Floating Killer, Cookie Manager. AFAIK other IE-'skins' don't have those features. I tried to find out what the Phishing Alarm is about, but there is no documentation on that feature whatsoever.

This is also interesting - looks like it's already a big hit!
The Deepnet Explorer browser has already attracted considerable interest since it released its first browser in June. It is currently experiencing over 2,000 downloads per day, and they are talking to various companies to work on partnerships which will generate revenue for the company.(Edited to make sense here.)
Oh well, I suppose if I'm going to check CSS in IE anyway, I might as well have a IE6 mod with tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, RSS and gnutella p2p...
[Two minutes later...]
I'm using it now.
I have to confess, the interface is quite sensible...
It might catch on with IE diehards.... >;->
