Expand IE7 With IE7pro

March 15th, 2007 • Related • Filed Under

Whatever you think of Microsoft, they definitely put out a good product in IE7. At the moment my browser usage is split 50:50 between IE7 and Firefox, which is impressive when you consider I refused to use IE6 and I’ve only been using IE7 for about 2 months. I don’t know if it’s my imagination, but webpages look better in IE7.

Ajay has uncovered a great addon for IE7 called IE7pro that makes a good product even better. IE7pro adds six features to Internet Explorer, including Tab Management, Ad Filters, Drag and Drop and Mouse Gestures. If I can find a way to do inline search with IE7 in addition to these features I might totally leave FF behind.

What’s your browser of choice?

For inline search in IE, you can always try out this cool little addon (which is also free, by the way)

Maxthon for me. The v2 (in beta) is very spiffy, just waiting until it allows IE plugins (like 1.5.x does) to switch to it.

Wow - Everton - I can’t believe you didn’t generate more comments on this post… saying you were going to leave FF behind. Wow - what a statement.

I have not been able to upgrade to IE7 because our work apps will not work with it… I hope this is resolved soon!

The problem with Firefox is it gets so bloated it runs really slowly. IE7 is a very good browser
