In the short term you could use Dbirdman's Fap Alert:

I used that for years on my 7000 system, long before there ever was an official meter.
I actually have Firefox and Chrome on here in addition to IE, but I almost always use IE. I guess I'm just too used to it, though that's going to change as they aren't going to release any further versions and I won't touch Edge. Soon it will be either Firefox or Chrome. Probably Chrome, but only because I've used it more than Firefox. To each his own, as long as it works.
