IE7 chases Firefox with IE7PRO add-on.

IE7PRONot so long ago new add-on for IE7 appeared on the horizon. It is in state called IE7PRO. On their official website About Us section is posted that IE7PRO was developed by 5 teammates originating from Japan to United States. Add-on file size is only 1.5Mb and installation itself goes smoothly. After it, you're redirected to the first run screen and are invited to learn more about the product. However IE7PRO team doesn't guarantee any responsibility for any loss of their product use. This is an excerpt from license agreement:

"4.THE SOFTWARE IS DISTRIBUTED "AS IS". NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. YOU USE THE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE AUTHORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DATA LOSS, DAMAGES, LOSS OF PROFITS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF LOSS WHILE USING OR MISUSING THE SOFTWARE."

By default Ad Blocker is activated and you won't see common ads on webpages anymore unless change the value for certain sites. However this feature sometimes goes too far. For example I couldn't see bravenet counter stats page from one site until I disabled Ad Blocker. So sometimes average user can't recognize the situation and might think that service isn't working.

Some interesting features of IE7PRO add-on: spell checker, super drag drop (starts search in google in new tab after you highlight some text and drag anywhere on the page), you can also block flash animation and even certain pictures like site logo which you don't want to see.

All in all in my opinion IE7PRO add-on doesn't impose to blog publishers because it blocks their source of revenue. IE7PRO may be great for proffesionals but average users might not be able to use its full potencial.
