IE7Pro is a plugin for Internet Explorer 7 and 8 that brings some of the best features of Firefox and other web browsers to Microsoft's browser. Yes, we know many folks would suggest just using Firefox or Opera, but if you need to use IE for one reason or another (perhaps there are some web sites you visit regularly which aren't rendered properly by other browsers), IE7Pro can make your browsing experience much more pleasant.
IE7Pro 2.3 was released today, with a handful of bug fixes and new features, including:
- FasterIE module with support for prefetching, which should speed up your browsing experience
- Session Manager which allows you to save open tabs when closing your browser and reopen those tabs next time you login.
- The MiniDM download manager now supports drag & drop and multiple links
You can check out a complete list of updates in the IE7Pro 2.3 changelog.

This actually goes a long way towards making IE7/8 usable (for brief periods of time).

If you want/need an IE-based browser that does nearly everything FF does (and quite a few things it doesn't) - and has done for years, try Maxthon.

Ugh, Maxthon is OK but underneath it you've still got IE. Also, IE8 beta has session management in that it restores your tabs if you crashed, although I never use IE enough for it to crash on me anyway. IE7Pro is nice, but for me it just seems like it's basically trying to copy Firefox extensions, so why not just use Firefox?

I use the Firefox Add-on "IE View" if I find a site that really must use Microsoft Internet Explorer to view it correctly. The rendered pages of the chosen location (that can be set so that they always open in "IE View") are viewed within a tab in Firefox embedded in an IExplore object control.
You can even use another Browser, such as Maxthon, as the surrogate MS-IE executable.
