Check it out if you are not already using this.  It’s a free “must have” download here: http://www.ie7pro.com/FEATURES:

Enhance Internet Explorer’s Tabbed Browsing Capabilities

7. Modify the maxium number of parallel connections to the web server.
8. Select the external program to view page source

Super Drag and Drop
With Super Drag and Drop enabled, you can open new links by simply dragging and dropping the link on the page. You can also Drag and Drop to search selected words with the default search engine or save the selected photo when Shift is held down.
Mouse Gesture
Mouse Gesture allow the user to execute commonly performed tasks (open/close a tab, go back, go forward , print , scrolling page etc.) by drawing a simple symbol on the screen.
Crash Recovery
Crash Recovery automatically restores all opened pages after a crash happened.
Save Page to Image
Flexible and easy-to-use tool that converts html page from any URL to image. It captures the whole web page’s content into JPG, BMP , GIF , PNG or TIFF on the fly.
Quick Proxy Switcher
Different internet connections do often require completely different proxy server settings and it’s a real pain to change them manually.
AD Blocker
Blocks all forms of advertising, including Flash ads, rich media, fly-ins, slide-ins, pop-ups, pop-unders, spyware and adware ads, and messenger ads.
Greasy monkey alike User Script
IE7Pro Script is to Internet Explorer7 as Greasemonkey is to Firefox. It lets you remix the Web via scripts.
Inline Search
Adds the inline search bar like firefox has, finds as you type, use the F3 and Enter Key to cycle between multiple results, highlight all results.

What do you think?  Anyone moved off FireFox yet??? :-)

This is very, very useful. I like the fact that it will recover all your opened tabs when IE crashes. I also liked the fact that you don’t have to open up a tab before you can type the URL for it. You can simply type in the IE URL field and it will open up a new tab and not trash your currently focused tab. Cool!

Nice analysis of the new ie, I will check it out, but they will have to drag me kicking and screaming away from firefox. MS have lost too many hearts and minds to firefox to recover any converts.

You have a good point Neil, as Ty knows, I am not a big MS fan at all. I did have to install it and try it out for myself. I must say, I do like the Easy Home Page feature that loads 24 pre-selected sites without loading any tabs. Time will tell right? Thanks for your comment!

Yes. I’m not too inclined to leave Firefox either. IE7 in general was just plain terrible.
