Windows Phone 7 will work with third party browsers, so long as they're based on IE? (video)

Internet Explorer not stirring your cup of Windows Phone 7 tea
correctly? Well, you now have an alternative in the form of a new
browser that's arrived in the Marketplace: Browser+. It does seem to
have been built on IE code rather than its own framework, so don't get
your hopes up for Chrome to Phone on WP7 any time soon. Anyhow, the
new app's been given a test drive by a couple of sites, who note it
integrates a view of your current tabs and a Google search box right
into the general web view, providing a slightly more accessible
interface than the default option, while also throwing in a private
surfing mode for the paranoid among us. A few crashes and bugs have
been spotted in Browser+ so far, but hey, it's cheap and it at least
gives us hope for a less monotheistic browsing experience. See it in
video action after the break.
