You guys want addons in IE?
Try
IE7Pro :
Ad-block, Flash-block, spellcheck, URL Aliases, and a lot more, in one single package.
Or better yet, use
Maxthon2:
Gives you all that stuff without even needing to install extra stuff. All the other stuff like Youtube doiwnloads, extra adblock lists, text filters, etc are simple plugins.
URL Aliases are a system where you set up shortcuts for URLs. Eg. you assign the alias
w7f to
www.sevenforums.com. Then all you need to do to go there is type
w7f in the address bar and hit ENTER.
Maxthon also allows you to group all your favorite sites together as a
Group, and launch them all with just one click, or even set the browser to open them at startup, sort of like having multiple homepages.
Just two of the many cool features of Maxthon, for your edification.
All I ever use FF for is downloads. For some reason, it downloads faster that the speed cap on my internet. That's all it does though. Slow as a snail compared to Maxthon2/IE8 for browsing.
