RogueSpear Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I installed IE7 B2 and I have to say that Microsoft has taken too many cues from Firefox. In fact they've taken all the stuff that made me ditch Firefox for Maxthon. When will these people understand that I want to modify the toolbar layout to my own liking? That I want to be able to make the tabs behave how I like it?So anyway, now I'm running Maxthon on top of IE7. Sometimes I think Microsoft should just license Maxthon and concentrate their efforts on the underpinnings like the rendering engine, security, etc. Because nothing they'll do will ever result in a browser interface as nice and as flexible as Maxthon.

RogueSpear Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 weres the i havent tried it option?If you're trying to suggest I haven't tried FireFox, try again. I used it for over a year as my primary browser. I finally ditched it in disgust. Just a bunch of hype as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I like the IE 7 look in context with Vista not XP. I am getting very interested in Vista...and IE 7 will be the default browser for it...cant wait to finally play with an all new OS...really getting tired of XP.

WBHoenig Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 It's good (on IE standards) but I still like Firefox 100x better. I HATE the layout, but other than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGbadjohn Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 "Like it" with a "but". It keeps on losing my cookies and I have to continually login, sometimes twice in the one session for one site. In fact I am considering uninstalling it until improvements are made. It is also slow to open a page even though it has it downloaded.But it has loads of potential and I do favour it over IE6.

Zachariah Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 What bugs me the most is that IE7 still doesn't render the q element. HTML is the most basic standard, and even after 5 years they don't fully support it. Seems that and security would be the first priority ... go figure.

Thunderbolt 2864 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 IE7 was a huge disappointment to me. All the problems I had with IE6 apparently existed in IE7. And as I mentioned numerous of times, I really hate the layout and buttons, very confusing to use. Thank god Firefox 2.0 came out after the release of IE7.

Marthax Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) The first impression I got was like a really bad cooking recipe:Take IE6, throw in some firefox functionality and at the top of that, facelift the crap out of it = IE7It's like most of the new games nowadays: Zero focus on the game experience, which in my opinion is the main priority, and instead a lot of eye candy.

FAT64 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 The final version is much more stable, and I now like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I had I.E. 7 on my flash drive for a while before finally installing it.The only reason I did that, was because so many "Experts" said it added some security, etc., to XP.But I don't even use it as a browser. Probably never will either, as Firefox 2.0 with the I.E. Tab plugin does everything I want or need.So I too needed another option in the Poll.....like "I really don't give a Shxx!" (darn) Oh well, different strokes for different folks. That's why we have several different Browsers to choose from. Right? B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subzero006 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Yep FF without the security fixes. IE7 is still better than IE6. But that's my opinion. To me it makes no differance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
