Do you use IE 7?

I recently stumbled across a handy freeware program called IE7Pro.  It was referenced in a PC World article about unwanted online advertising, because IE7Pro is designed to stop really intrusive browser ads (like those floating interstitials).  It also offers some great features like automatic spell check of any text you type in a browser window (for example, it’s correcting me right now), inline search, and blocking of Flash.  My favorite feature, however, is that IE7Pro will recall and reopen tabs I had open during a crash.  I find IE7 extremely stable, except for the ongoing issue with Flash, so between allowing me to easily disable Flash, and then rebuilding my browsing pages after a Flash-initiated crash, this free program has remedied just about every problem I’ve had with IE7.  The list of IE options you can tweak is lengthy, so visit the site to see if the program has a feature which might serve a unique need for you.

The program comes well-recommended from a number of sources, and as I said, is completely free.  If you want to give it a try, you can download it at IE7Pro.
