For those of you who use Internet Explorer with del.icio.us, we’re announcing today the official release of the Delicious Bookmarks Add-on for Internet Explorer. In a nutshell, this extension brings you many of the best features of the Delicious Bookmarks Extension for Firefox while introducing a few new features of its own.
This extension works with XP and Vista for IE6 and IE7. IE8 should also work, but IE8 support is still in beta, since that browser isn’t final. Please go to our delicious-ie-extension group for comments and feedback regarding IE8.
Enjoy!
For more details on the IE extension, check out our original beta announcement. For the eager and impatient, download from our website.

Note: The comments on the blog have not gone unnoticed, we’ve been working hard on fixes and have just released a new version that should have most if not all of the issues addressed. Please restart Firefox to receive the update automatically. Thanks again for your patience and understanding.
For those who do not want the full feature set of this extension, but want a more streamlined version, please try Classic Mode. Simply go to Tools.. Delicious Options.. Advanced Tab and click the “Classic Mode” button.
A little over a month ago, we announced our beta for Firefox 3 and encouraged you to try it out. After hundreds of thousands of downloads, you gave us some great feedback on how we could make it better and more stable. We’ve incorporated many fixes and refinements into the final release, and we’ve got a plan to release more features on a regular basis. Thanks again to everyone who participated in our beta; we really couldn’t have gotten here without you.
For a complete list of new features, check out our blog post announcing the beta; it covers all the basics.
For those of you who haven’t used our Firefox extension, it’s a great way to search and manage your bookmarks as well as keep track of your Delicious network and links for you. And if you’re still using Firefox 2, the new extension works perfectly with that browser as well. If you already use our existing extension, you’ll get a reminder to upgrade when you start Firefox. If you’re new to the extension, check it out on Mozilla’s add-on page.
