What's this about a IE7Pro?

I've been working in semi secret on a Wiki, which unlike my own which i was hosting on my computer, this one is on Wikia and since they manage the framework and have a great customizable skin makes things easier.

Something that bugged me and Jimmy about it is how unfortunately Wikia sticks ads on every page, we didn't realize this at first because we both happen to use ad blockers, but it'd b annoying for non Firefox users

Unrelated, but i love these "science" pics.

On Wikia's own help section, i found a link to a "style" that hides the ads on the client side. And on that page, i found a link to IE7pro.

As far as i can tell, it's a project similar to MyIE2, which later was renamed to Maxthon (i miss that browser so much... it was made of awesome). Instead of being a new browser on it's own, it uses IE as a base and improves on it adding features and unloading useless crap.

IE7Pro includes Tabbed Browsing Management, Spell Check, Inline Search, Super Drag Drop, Crash Recovery, Proxy Switcher, Mouse Gesture, Tab History Browser, Web Accelerator, User Agent Switcher, Webpage Capturer, AD Blocker, Flash Block, Greasemonkey like User Scripts platform, User Plug-ins, MiniDM

Since i notice a few guys who browse this site do use IE7, i'm wondering if they use this. I'd like to know if it's good, it sure sounds like a fairly acceptable browser. And if they don't use it, maybe they can give it a go and then let me know what they think.
