IE7 is teh suck

Vikingod · Jul 29, 2005, 07:36 PM

refresh and stop are in the same button, just like opera 8.02. Its actually a nice feature, saves a bit of space. Not overly excited about this one, i like Opera.

riles9262 · Jul 29, 2005, 07:37 PM

Does it have mouse gestures or anything? *hugs opera*

daRk_heLmet · Jul 29, 2005, 07:40 PM

there is no stop button either

Mr cairo · Jul 29, 2005, 07:49 PM

just after the address bar is a pair of arrows in a circle thats your refresh button

daRk_heLmet · Jul 29, 2005, 07:54 PM

aaahhh

thank you sir

nitrousoxide52 · Jul 29, 2005, 07:55 PM

What do they need to save space for? Do you see that huge empty spot?

Mort_Cinder · Jul 29, 2005, 07:57 PM

imo internet explorer 7 is a firefox rip-off.

AttroPheed · Jul 29, 2005, 08:05 PM

i think IE7 will only serve to make more people more familiar with features already offered in better more customizable browsers. i'm not one of those MS hating open source cultists either. i'd say firefox is one of the few cases i can think of where open source works as advertised. i'll definitely be trying it out tho.

The_Neon_Cowboy · Jul 29, 2005, 08:28 PM

I saw one of the best browser ever like many years ago it was based on
IE had tabbed surfing download manager etc long before I'd seen anyone
else use it. When like 28.8K internet was like da bomb

So who barrowed from who would be a hard feat

daRk_heLmet · Jul 29, 2005, 08:31 PM

anyway to get rid off that google search box on the top right ?

daRk_heLmet · Jul 29, 2005, 09:13 PM

anybody's windows update working ? with ie7 ?

Zelig · Jul 30, 2005, 02:35 AM

IE7 screws MSN while using other programs (GAIM, Trillian, etc.), so I won't be getting it at least until that gets fixed.

daedal · Jul 30, 2005, 04:43 AM

Eh, Firefox still seems alow better than that thing. Why is there no stop button? What if I want to stop a website from downloading and not refresh it?

Not having looked at the screenshots, and only having read half the thread, I think that the button will stop the page if it's loading, and refresh the page if it's loaded or has been stopped already.

swimtech · Jul 30, 2005, 06:09 AM

Heard today it that it has Java problems to work out, slow with pauses...

Of course there is: Maxthon and Opera

Falstaff · Jul 31, 2005, 07:34 AM

I thought firefox was worthy of effort, but I found it a little boring...but then...should a browser entertain and inform and be a tool...now that is asking too much isnt it..

Jitter · Jul 31, 2005, 07:47 AM

I posted this in a different thread, but it seems to fit here better:

I dunno I had this on my PC for all of a few hours. I thought that it truely sucked. First off I had to uninstall/reinstall my firewall (zonealarm) after installing IE7 because it wouldnt start up. In IE7 itself certain pages (like this one) took forever to load. I was trying to make a simple post on the forum that would normally take maybe 5 mins. Well after messing around for over 10 mins I thought maybe my connect was messed up so I reconnected. It took me over 15 more minutes to make a post. Also yahoo mail wasnt too compatible w/ it. It worked, but it looked all funky and it told me i needed to upgrade my browser and such. Also unless you put your favorites in like a side pane I could not see them all. When you click on the favorites menu at the top it opens your favorites full screen. However mine would not all fit on one screen and I didnt see anyway to scroll down or over to see the rest. If you made a favorites toolbar icon it would open up in a side frame and they worked fine from there. I know its only a beta, and not really a public beta, but it sure has a long way to go in my opinion to be something I would use everyday. Another weird thing is the refresh/stop button was the same which I did not like at all. I was never sure which one it was going to do. Anyways thats a little off topic, but if anyone is considering trying to get your hands on it, I really dont think its worth it.

Darn Rip Off Of Firfox! I Hate Microsoft Sometimes Stealing Ideas Putting Into Their Software Calling It "their Own".

I Should File A Law Suite!

AttroPheed · Aug 1, 2005, 12:56 PM

ok i tried it. it sucks. perhaps only because its beta or maybe just because the interface is jacked to fuck. for some reason the home button is on a different toolbar than the rest of the nav buttons and that toolbar keeps disappearing. It seems a little slower than IE6 but again this could be a problem with it being beta. I'll try again next time but it'd take more than tabs and a home button on the navbar to drag people away from firefox at this point.

it's nice to see they finally added support for png alpha channel tho

.

bstef9950 · Aug 9, 2005, 04:20 AM

Once This Beta Is Installed Is It Easy To Uninstall???

bstef9950 · Aug 9, 2005, 04:23 AM

Thanks for your last 2 post's.There is no way im gonna install this beta version.Sounds more like a very alpha version

Sorry but that's a fact of life... EVERYTHING gets "ripped off" in one way or another in EVERYTHING that involves business... sometimes it happens and the person that "ripped off" the idea doesn't even know they did...
