If you're sticking with IE7 then IE7Pro (or Maxthon) is essential for full featured tabbed browsing.
TBD on whether IE7Pro is really needed for tabbed browsing enhancement in IE8.

As I see it, it has an issue with AJAX heavy sites. I'm not a web developer, so I could be misreading the issue. I'm not familiar with IE7Pro. I'm always open to re-evaluations. If you're using it, I'll take it would be worth my time to check it out as well. -- ME2 On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 2:46 PM, Carl Houseman <c.house...@gmail.com> wrote: Can't remember the last time when IE7 just gave up and walked away. But I "only' have 10-20 tabs open at any given time. My tab recovery support is via IE7Pro. Which brings up my next batch of questions, what is the recommended process for IE7Pro users to move to IE8? Remove IE7Pro before upgrading? Is tab recovery built-in to IE8? I'll go google those things now...

IE7 eats waaay more memory and cant handle it. I'm running current versions, side-by-side, aaand I have 30+ extensions loaded into FF (while no add-ons with IE7). My most recently necessity has been to disabled Flash in IE7 because I can make it crash repeatedly when logged into Facebook. I can make this happen at work with XP and at home on Vista. Since there is very little tab-recovery support in IE7, it is currently at the bottom of my annoyances bin. I cant work with it for any information I need to retain. It simply cant be trusted. -- ME2 On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 2:24 PM, Steven Peck <sep...@gmail.com> wrote: What kind of weird sites are you people going to? I have zero issues with IE7 standard. I use a combination of FF and IE7 on a variety of different boxes. I find on systems I have both installed, I tend to use IE7 because no matter what the FF folks tell you, overtime FF eats memory and kills your systems performance. (oh yes, they fixed the memory issue this time, for real this time, really it's not as bad as it used to be, honest). The FF people sound like Comcast support personal. I plan on switching over to IE8 at home as soon as is practical (whenever the download sites stop blowing up :) Steven On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 10:52 AM, Michael Ross <mr...@itwif.com> wrote: > Think aboot what?
