Turbocharge Internet Explorer with IE7Pro

Internet Explorer users, envy Firefox no more: IE7Pro is a free utility that adds a wealth of features and customization options to Internet Explorer 7.

For example, it can perform screen grabs of entire Web pages (not just what's currently in view) and save the results in various formats (GIF, JPEG, etc.). It lets you perform browser functions using "mouse gestures" (meaning you hold down, say, the right button, then move the mouse in a given direction to perform a designated function).

IE7Pro also offers crash recovery, a spell checker, inline search (the search tool now works as you type), an ad blocker, tab history and management, and "Super Drag Drop": You can open a link in a new tab just by dragging and dropping it anywhere. (Dragging and dropping selected text runs a search.) Power users can take advantage of plug-ins and Greasemonkey-like user scripts.

I've been a Firefox user (and fan) for years, but I'm surprised at how much more I'm liking Internet Explorer now that IE7Pro is installed. It adds a boatload of Firefox-like features in one fell swoop. Highly recommended.
