Supercharge Internet Explorer 7 with Crash Recovery, Flash Block, Mouse Gestures and More

Microsoft did a good job with IE7 by incorporating many of the features that Firefox and Opera had made standard long ago, but I felt it was missing a couple of things. In comes IE7pro, which fills in many of the gaps that Microsoft could easily have filled.

IE7pro adds a whole slew of features to IE7 including Flash blocking, ad blocking, handy mouse gestures, and crash recovery. While you can probably replicate the whole package by cherry picking different add-ons from Windows Marketplace, it would take a lot longer, and some of these features can't be found elsewhere.

Other useful features of IE7pro are the user-agent switcher for times when sites block certain browsers and easy proxy switching for times when certain sites are blocked by your ISP.
