One of the primary reason why Firefox has people hooked in is due to the extensibility it provides by means of add-ons. With IE7, Microsoft provides you the ability to create and use add-ons as well.
Add-ons (also known as extensions or plugins) provide a mechanism for third-party organizations or users to extend the browser’s functionality in various ways.
In an article titled “Seven Best Add-Ons for IE7” in wired news, Scott covers some of the useful add-ons for IE7:
- ieSpell: spell-checker
(click on the image to enlarge) - Inline Search: similar to the find as you type functionality in Firefox
- IE7 Open Last Closed Tab: restore a tab after it has been closed (neat!)
- Add Search Providers: add any other search engine
- Trailfire Toolbar: leave sticky notes on web pages
- StumbleUpon Toolbar: web surf randomizer
- GooglePreviewIE: preview a page before you visit it
More extensions can be found at Windows Marketplace.
Some of the ones which I like are:
- VSPopUp: pop-up window closer (Update: has been removed from the site)
- IE7Pro: adds lots of features and extras that make your IE easier, more useful, more secure and more customizable
- Aw2 Explorer 7: Aw2 Explorer 7 has tabbed browsing, rss feader, pop-up blocker plus more security features.
Providing the ability for developers to extend the functionality of IE7 (using add-ons) is indeed a right step by Microsoft and this should give them some leverage on competing with Firefox.

Im looking for the remove ie addon..
great list! I’m a big fan of Trailfire. I’ve been using it for the past couple of months. There are lots of things to discover and it’s easy to use. I’ll be adding IEspell to my tool kit also.
Thanks for posting the list.
