Top 10 Best Internet Explorer Add-Ons

I was able to cull out some of the best internet explorers Add-Ons that you can use.
here is my combined list of internet explorer add-ons.

1. IE7Pro - Don't let the name fool you, IE7Pro works with Internet Explorer 7, or 8, and it packs more features into a single Add-on than any three other plug-ins combined

2. Web of Trust - Similar to the McAfee Site Advisor recommended in our Internet Safety Guide, the Web of Trust (WOT) Add-on integrates with search results pages and rates each link for safety. Green means safe, yellow means caution, and red means don't go there

3. LastPass - While any modern browser can remember your website passwords, the LastPass Add-on makes that process a whole lot safer by encrypting your saved passwords in its servers, rather than in IE's (relatively insecure) password file

4. Open Last Closed Tab - Says what it does, does what it says. This add-on can resurrect any tab you've opened and closed during your current browsing session -- including those tabs you shut down accidentally

5. Yoono - Tired of checking Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, AIM, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype and Google Talk for all the myriad possible incoming messages you could receive at any moment? Yoono integrates all these services into a single browser-based client, letting you see (and send) Twitter replies, Facebook updates, and Skype chats in a single, simultaneous stream.

6. Shareaholic - Submit stories to Digg, add links to Delicious, or share an item on Facebook all with a single Add-on.

7. Login Using BugMeNot - The perfect Add-on for all those services youdon'twant to join, Login with BugMeNot will use anonymous, public credentials to sign you into any major site on the web

8. Define with Wikipedia - Another straightforward tool, the Define with Wikipedia IE Add-on searches Wikipedia for a definition or article that explains any text you highlight on a webpage

9. Chrome Frame for IE - The most controversial add-on on our list, Chrome Frame for IE converts your Internet Explorer Browser into a virtual instance of Google Chrome

10. Weather from Bing - Simple, but for those of us that check the web before leaving the house, the Weather from Bing Web Slice keeps your current, local forecast present in your browser at all times

There are dozens of additional Internet Explorer Add-ons, many suited to specific tasks or hobbies. Moreover, there are whole customized versions of Internet Explorer 8. AOL and MySpace
