@carbonize
Yes there is been a mistake Adblock features are not written…thanks for pointing out !

it also includes Adblocker that Blocks all forms of advertising…including Flash ads..

indeed it is a matter of personal choice no browser can be said as most secure and non-vulnerable and i also said in the verdict that i prefer Firefox over IE unless the site demands,but lots of people do use IE so for those it will add lot of functionality that IE don’t have.

@Trix – As Tharkis points out the Ad Block is a feature of IE7 Pro and not a userscript for it.

Well the adblock feature is completely separate of the userscript feature. Both are nice and valuable additions to the browser.

@Mick
I hate to say it but, out of the box both browsers are not secure. The difference is that out of the box, IE7 can and does allow for the unknowing install of spyware and adware. Whilst this happens with firefox as well now, it’s not as near of a problem as it is with IE. Probably the only “secure” browser is a text mode browser like lynx.. But honestly, I couldn’t prove that one either. Also quoting a 2 year old white paper about security isn’t relevant. Especially when it’s sources are well more than 4 years old.

In the end, I prefer firefox. Because I find it to be faster and more configureable than IE. I was an IE fanboi for a long time, but I got sick of being infected so I switched to firefox with adblocker. This was something IE didn’t offer until IE7pro came out. by then, I’d switched my habits. IE isn’t a bad browser, it just has some issues. So does firefox, and chrome, and every other browser out there. What it comes down to anymore is preference. Use what you like. Just browse with a condom on.

Nice… but firefox use….

@All
Hold on guys !!!
Review is not about the comparison … it is all about making a browser better if u r using it..
IE still holds the greatest chunk of browser share,mind it that people do use it unless u tend to yell @ MS everytime…

Windows also experiences vulnerability in that case u wait for a patch if IE uses it this becomes a bad browser…It’s ridiculous..

Every programming code in this world can be reverse engineered if ppl want that to happen.. security vulnerability can happen anytime with any damn piece of software… thats why they write in “readme”
*Bugs fixed and releases new versions…

For those who use IE u must add this add-on…
for those who doesn’t no question arises…It’s written in review i guess… [:D]

@Mick – IE is garbage. It doesn’t respect W3C standards for a start and when writing Ajax web scripts you have to check which method of http requests the browser supports. All the other browsers use the exact same method but IE does it via ActiveX and even then you have to check which version since MS decided to change the way it’s called in IE7. Also I have never known a security exploit in Firefox or any other non-MS browser that resulted in the makers telling you to use a different browser until it’s patched.

My main question is why is there not mention of IE7Pros best feature – Ad Block.

I used it for some time but finally uninsatlled as i rarely use IE as my main browser. I just wanted to give it a try and was dissatisfied in some ways. Do not exactly remember the whole thing about it except that the function of changing proxies does not work properly in this add-on.

Really? IE v7 is not necessarily inferior to Firefox (it’s a matter of opinion) and it is not inherently less or more secure than Firefox. It can be configured to be less secure, as can Firefox. Out of the box, they are both secure: http://www.sans.org/reading_room/whitepapers/sysadmin/is_internet_explorer_more_secure_than_firefox_1911

I think you’ve read too much Firefox marketing. IE is a very good web browser, and v8 will prove to be better.

That being said, I am a happy Firefox user since v0.7. I happen to prefer Firefox, but that doesn’t mean that IE is garbage.

And I will add that IE7 Pro is one of the first things I install on a new system. It gives IE7 the familiarity of Firefox that I don’t like working without. Excellent product.

I love this program for when I absolutely have to use IE. Mostly I just pop open firefox and be done with it.

I’ve used IE7Pro. Frankly, no matter what you do to IE, it’s still vastly inferior to, and less secure than, Firefox, so it’s now relegated to being a tool for Windows Updates, and nothing else. Face it, you can polish a turd as long as you like, and it’s still a turd.
