IE7Pro 2.3 adds prefetching, session management to Internet Explorer

IE7Pro 2.3

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.

Give Internet Explorer a better download manager with IE7Pro 2.0

IE7Pro
Internet Explorer 7 may have a bunch of features that were missing from earlier versions of Microsoft's web browser, like tabbed windows, but that doesn't mean IE7 can't benefit from a few tweaks. And IE7Pro is probably the most full featured tweaker on the block. Last time we looked at IE7Pro, it was looking pretty good with support for mouse gestures, Ad Blocker, and a Greasemonkey-liked script for users who want to write their own code.

Now IE7Pro 2.0 is out, and it has a few new features that make this Internet Explorer add-on even more valuable. Probably the most remarkable new feature is a download manager with support for pausing and resuming downloads.

IE7Pro 2.0 also now comes in both 64-bit and 32-bit flavors.

Supercharge Internet Explorer with IE7Pro

IE7ProSome might say the best way to improve your web browsing experience with Internet Explorer 7 would be to download Firefox or Opera (hey, I didn't say it, "some" said it!).

But if you've got you heart set on IE7 for one reason or another, you might want to check out IE7Pro, a plugin that adds a whole bunch of nifty features. Here are a few of our favorites:
  • Tabbed browsing enhancements like double click to close a tab, open new tabs from the address bar, and hide the search bar
  • Mouse gestures: right-click and drag your mouse up, down, left and right to navigate the current page or move to the next or previous pages
  • Ad Blocker
  • A crash recovery feature that restores all the pages you had open when your browser crashed
  • Save pages to a text file
  • Greasemonkey-like IE7Pro Script for adding new functions via scripts.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
