*gasp* RSS feeds,search tool bar,tabbed really looks familiar but where is the File Edit View those bar went?
Many sites are reporting this as IE7 Beta3 (which might make tracking it easier) You won't see any big differences in the GUI, this build is just to fix (they hope) the things that were broken in preview R2, which cause some sites not to work and in some cases all of IE7 not to work at all. the security changes are a good thing but some sites will still have to make changes to work well now that there are more restrictions on ActiveX and script execution.
I refuse to try any new Internet Explorer product, especially a beta...lol...in time i'll decide whether it has been good or not.
Meh Firefox does everything I need it to do and more. Yes, adblock and other extensions are almost needed for me to browse now.
I use Maxthon, which is based on IE technology...has some nice features like the tabs and web ads blocking...pretty useful imho, I won't switch until necessary or I find something better.
I used the beta 1 for awhile just to check it out. I kept getting script errors and certain things could not be rendered. I did like the tabs but Opra had that before and it seemed to work a bit smoother. I'll stick with FF for now.
soooooo like firefox, ctrl-T, click center button to open link in new tab.....wahahahha!!! direct copy izit?
Yay, another Maxthon user! Shame that it doesn't block all popups, but 99% is pretty good too imo! <3
Helo.... I am a new comer IE7 beta 2 is damn slow Although it has added security against spyware and a phising thing, I hate to use it. I had a bad experience using IE7b2 and in frustration I deleted the expansion browser. Reason? Lag like shit. I still prefer firefox.
I use IE, but I won't be updating until it goes final...and even then I am hoping it'll be better and less buggy. I wonder if anyone ever came to the conclusion to consider how many people use IE, compared to the competition...there are many more people looking for flaws in IE than in FireFox, Opera etc due to this alone. :O
I've tried IE7 lately, it's quite good actually. I like the extremely clean look. I like it. But as usual, there's not much customisation to be done, or do they have any plugin support? Anyone installed IE7 with Maxthon? Will it cause any problem?
