IE7Pro 2.1 is going to bring back some love to Internet Explorer 7 (hopefully)
We all know that a lot of (if not most) web developers love using Firefox for development. Mainly because of its simplicity, community support and functionality to extend the browser using add-ons.
It is also not a secret that we know that 60% or more* of our web users are still using IE. Most likely, half of those are IE7.
Now, to even the game of preferred development browser (sort of), there is a new update for IE7Pro (version 2.1).
IE7Pro is an app to extend your IE7 installation adding lots of Firefox-like features which you (web developer) need.
The app might get you to use IE7 more for development. Really. Why? It packs tons of improvements to IE7 and extend it like Firefox.
Some main features includes
- Enhancement of IE’s Tabbed Browsing Capabilities
- Super Drag and Drop
- Mouse Gestures (ala Opera)
- Crash Recovery (yeah! we need this!)
- Save Page to Image
- Quick Proxy Switcher
- AD Blocker (finally!)
- Greasy monkey alike User Script
- Inline Search
- Spell Check
- And a lot more…
More screenshots after the jump.
So, do you want to give IE7 another shot? Or do you want to simply check out what IE7Pro can offer? If your answer is yes to any of those, then get the app directly here.
It might be worth your time.

I also blogged about this but I wasn’t able to do a full review and provide screenshots because it won’t install on my machine.

Too bad it won’t install on your machine. You are prolly missing a lot.

Definitely not! Firefox is my default browser and I only use Flock, Opera and IE to check the browser compatibility of WordPress themes.
