Hello EVDOr's,
I just found this add on for ie7 called ie7pro. A Feature rich application. The Block Flash ads option is what caught my eye. I was thinking that it might help with the speed of pages loading. I just installed it, be cool if it works as advertised.

As of late it seems like more and more web pages are adding flash ad hogs to there pages. Eating up the bandwidth!

I noticed that you can increase the number of connection ie7 will allow you to use along with other features for ie7.

It also allows you to down load youtube videos!
Check it out. What are your thoughts on this add on.

Thanks,
Tim

I personally would not use IE7 to begin with.

Try firefox, it is faster, more secure, and has thousands of add-ons that can improve the browsing experience, and reduce load times, etc.

I've been using IE7Pro for a while now and it's great. And yes you can set it up to completely block flash based adds.

IE7Pro actually makes IE7 into a great browser. And I was a Firefox user, for over two years...

Hmmm, what are these 'adds' you speak of?

I have been running Adblock and FlashBlock in Firefox for a long time and they take care of nearly all the nasties one encounters on Web sites these days. If IE7Pro works as well then it would be a great tool for those who still need to use IE Smile

Yeah it adds adblock and flash block to IE7, along with a host of other great features...

At this point it look as if IE has pulled along side FF, and some think it has taken the lead. FF over the years has become bloated, hopefully when FF 3.0 comes out this will be remedied.
