Awesome Improvements to Internet Explorer 7 – IE7Pro Plugin
Posted by farshidJun 13
If I had to complain about one thing why I avoid IE7 and prefer Firefox it would be because of its way of handling tabs. I want to open new tabs when I type in a new URL, or open a bookmark, I want it opened in a new tab. Further I miss not having built in spell check like firefox. It goes of course beyond that, but these were my top two pains which made me choose FireFox. Just came across a link for IE7Pro which takes many steps towards coming close to FireFox (in my opinion at least). See screen shots below [via Public Sector Developer]

have you tried opera? I find it a lot better than both ff and ie, with it’s tab handling, mouse gestures, speed dial, etc etc… user friendliness at its top!

Ah yes, Opera. I don’t want to use that browser because of the simple reason that 98% of the sites out there only consider IE and FireFox as browsers and don’t care to test their sites on other browsers. Not worth the headache.

I’d say most sites nowadays support opera, or opera at least handles it all. I can’t remember more than a handful sites that have caused me (minor) trouble. and it’s definitely worth it.
