What do you think of IE7?

Syxx_Killer · 10-28-06, 10:39 PM

I don't recall a thread about it. For those that have it, what do you think of IE7? I finally broke down and downloaded it earlier. I must say I actually kind of like it. It is lightyears ahead of IE6. I don't think I would leave Firefox, though. I didn't know they were going the add-on route like Mozilla has with Firefox. Saw some of the same extensions for IE7 that are available for FF. I like the new look.

Edit:

Maybe I should take all that back.

Figures it would start giving me problems after I typed that. The favorites I had in IE has just disappeared. Granted, they were only the couple that come with it but they are still gone. Additionally, when I type a URL into the navigation field and press enter nothing happens. If I want to browse anywhere I have to go to a search engine, type in a search, and click the links that comes up. It was working fine before. This just popped up.

No problems so far... has worked fine for me.
The "tabs" on top of the screen feature seems a bit overated though... I prefer to simply open up a different web page on each of my monitors and then I can just watch them all at the same time without the need for this new "feature" :hmm:

You showoff!!!

You know, most people only have one monitor, for them it´s a great feature.

I like the new font in IE7 but the rest of it takes a bit of getting used to.

Happened to have just finally downloaded it also about 5 days ago now...IE is only browser I use...so far no problems...able to view the pages tabbed or untabbed..etc...no problems so far.Looks like same thing in a new skin...so long as it brings up pages is all that matters.

This sounds like a virus or browser hi-jack...

I assume you have Win XP...do a roll back...if possible to when you had IE 6 still.

I happen to like the ability to customize FF2.0, but I've upgraded both of my computers to IE7. Nothing wrong with it, it's just a little bland and takes some getting used to as the interface is pretty different from IE6 and FF.

When you guys upgraded to IE7, did you uninstall IE6 or anything like that? I just downloaded the IE7 installer and ran it.
