The reason we created that article (besides the fact that we're slightly [obsessed with all things Google](https://www.websitemagazine.com/blog/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-google-junkie) these days) is that we noticed that Chrome usage was increasing on our site and on others. But what about Internet Explorer? Are there add-ons for IE that will benefit Web professionals? Absolutely, and you can bet your browser on that. Here are a few of our favorite IE browser add-ons perfect for any Web professional. **Blogging:** The real-time Web is all the rage, and there is no shortage of add-ons to assist Web professionals in finding out about the latest trends. OneRiot offers two excellent add-ons. [**Realtime Web Search from OneRiot**](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bloggings/Realtime_Web_Search_by_OneRiot/) offers results for news, blogs, videos and the [**Most Shared Today**](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bloggings/Most_Shared_Today_by_OneRiot/) add-on offers those items with the greatest amount of distribution.Very much in line with the add-ons from OneRiot is **[Zemanta for IE](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bloggings/Zemanta/)**. The add-on suggests tags, links, photos and related articles in real time as you type. If you already know what you're going to be writing about, then there are several IE add-ons that you will find useful. There are **[IE add-ons for Blogger](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bloggings/Blogger/)**, **[LiveJournal](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bloggings/Post_to_LiveJournal/)**, and even [**Windows Live Spaces**](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bloggings/Blog_on_Windows_Live_Spaces/). **Search Engine Optimization:** Quite surprisingly to me, [Twingly Blog Links](did%20not%20find%20many%20valuable%20add-ons%20for%20the%20SEOs.%20%3Cb%3E%3Ca%20href=) could prove useful, however, as it lets users find blogs linking to the page being viewed.  **Social Sharing/Bookmarking:** There are a few strong social sharing add-ons for IE. Based on ratings, **[Shareaholic](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/Sharing_Email_Bookmark_Tool/)** and **[Add to Any](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/Share_Bookmark_Email_with_Add_to_Any/)** seem to be the most popular, and provide access to a number of social destinations. There are a few standalone sharing add-ons. [**Blinklist**](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/Add_to_Blinklist/)**, [Furl](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/Add_to_Furl/)** and **[Simpy](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/Bookmark_page_with_Simpy/)** to name just two. The [**Digg Accelerator**](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/news/Digg_Accelerator/) is one that has already made its way into our IE installations as have the **[Share on Facebook](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/204/Share_on_Facebook/), [Delicious](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/sharing/Share_with_Delicious/)** and [**Stumbleupon add-ons**](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/sharing/StumbleUpon/).  **URL Shorteners:** IE has loads of add-ons for those that need to shorten long URLs, **[to.ly](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/toly_short_url_service/)**, **[FLQ](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/FLQ__URL_Shrinker/)**, **[TinyURL](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/TinyURL_Accelerator/),** **[bit.ly](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/other/Shorten_with_bitly/)** and **[tr.im](https://ieaddons.com/en/details/bookmarks/trim_Accelerator/)** for example. **Total Randomness:** We'd be negligent if we didn't mention **[IE7pro](https://www.ie7pro.com/)**, an add-on from Daniel Fang that features tabbed browsing enhancement, ad block, and user scripts. Another noteworthy add-on for Internet Explorer is **[Xmarks](https://download.xmarks.com/download/ie)** which syncs and backs up bookmarks favorites. [**Lightshot**](https://lightshot.skillbrains.com/) is another rather valuable add-on we've come across for taking and sharing screenshots. ![Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Pete%20Prestipino.jpeg) [Pete Prestipino](https://www.websitemagazine.com/marketing/author/pete-prestipino) Digital marketing executive with proven experience in all aspects of search engine optimization (SEO), performance-based advertising, consumer-generated/social media, email marketing, lead generation, Web design, usability, and analytics. - 20-year Internet marketing veteran, currently serving as the Digital Marketing Campaign Manager at Antenna Group (formerly Chicago Digital). - Former Editor-In-Chief of Website Magazine, and a regular speaker on Web technology digital marketing strategy - Author of several books on digital marketing Including Web 360: The Fundamentals of Web Success; Affiliate 360: The Fundamentals of Performance Marketing; Domains 360: The Fundamentals of Buying & Selling Domain Names, and SEO 360: The Fundamentals of Search Engine Optimization. - - - [mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com](mailto:peter@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [31 Back-to-School Keyword Targets ![31 Back-to-School Keyword Targets](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/schoolbus-1-1-1-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/marketing/31-back-to-school-keyword-targets) ### [GoDaddy Goes .XXX ![GoDaddy Goes .XXX](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/gradient-regular-logo-mark-Jan-23-2023-12-15-39-1451-AM-Apr-10-2023-01-36-09-0977-PM-3-1.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/marketing/godaddy-goes-xxx) ### [23 Cool Tech Facts ![23 Cool Tech Facts](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/fact_100x100-2-1-1-1.png)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/marketing/23-cool-tech-facts) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
