Hell no.

[GeneralStorm]

I wouldn't 'switch' back, though if ie7 did what I wanted it to do, I would welcome it to my family of browsers (Opera, Firefox, Maxthon).

[iron2000]

I'll probably stay with Maxthon.

Microsoft realised it too late, too late.

Mi sig says it all for me

That ENTIRELY depends on its feature set, which was strangely enough not an option.

I mean, if it sucks, of course I won't use it. I'm not that stupid.

We also have strange options like

"No, I need my mouse gestures and other features"

What if it has mouse gestures then?

if you read the first post, i said that

"IF IE7 disabled activeX and became more secure and added tabbed browsing, would you switch back from firefox/opera?"

from what we know now, it will have tabs, it will be more secure, it wont have mouse gestures and it wont support standards better. thats the feature set.

If it provides me with a better browsing experience, then yes I will. I won't judge until I've given it a chance.

[Ji@nBing]

I highly doubt it. They would have to make a hell of a lot of changes and add a lot more features than I think they will to get me to change back from Firefox.

[eilegz]

i would try it but ie has it flaws by design really so integrating new stuff to ie wont bring more security indeed i must say that microsoft did a good job at sp2.

Anyways i use firefox because of exntension and many features that probablu ie 7 wont bring

Personal preference

I'd move back, if they brought in proper png support instead of this crap parsing through a directx filter garbage (I know it was mentioned in the first post, but it really does annoy me that they don't support this properly, especially considering that the Mac IE does.)

If it had tabs, possibly, but it would have to be more then just tabbed browsing to make me move.

Work preference on the other hand...

From managing a high school network point of view, I can't use firefox as it doesn't provide the security measures/options/restritions that I need to be able to deploy it to stop kids from changing proxy settings, restrictions, etc etc to stop those virus' coming in on activex components amoungst other things.

So from a work perspective bring on the IE7 anything thats more secure.

[smart001]

I would only switch back if it had what I wanted. I have FF running perfectly now, it does only what I need and nothing else. I am very happy with it. On the contrary I know that IE 7 will be different from the other IEs so I will keep an open mind and give it a shot. I will change back if it is good

[at0mican]

I can't settle on a browser.

IE is good and tabbed browsing isn't important to me.

Opera 8 Beta is excellent. But, do I want two browsers on my pc?

Firefox, still good, but limitations in my hotmail and other web pages annoys me.

At this stage pick of the crop is Opera 8 Beta for my browsing.

IE7 has got me interested, but it's months away. :/

[jack_canada]

I use Linux and Firefox, sometimes Opera, but I still got Epiphany and IE 5.5 installed just in case...

[EduardValencia]

Expecting PNG Alpha Transparency support,CSS2,CSS3,Tabbed Browsing.

i have firefox installed,but i use it few times.i love IE

[oceanmotion]

IE is flawed and no amount of features will rescue it. MS really needs to go back to the drawing board but I won't judge until I try IE7.

You expect a lot. After all, they don't even have full CSS1 support with XHTML right now. :laugh:

[jpomery]

Mozilla Firefox is the only way to go :yes:

[Mystical112]

still on IE as my main browser... so yes...

[Intelligen]

Personally, I won't switch even when they release the new version. What is nice is that for those sites that don't work with firefox and never will, the enhanced version will be nice.

But for work, all our applications are coded for ActiveX so for those who are in the workforce and can only utilize Internet Explorer, it will be nice to have out. We run into so many spyware problems with users going to sites they shouldn't. It's the business use and average joe that really needs this newest version.

[limok]

yep me too ie all the way

[MuddyMuDmaN]

...I really hope Mozilla remains competitive for a really long time, whether you are an IE fan or a Mozilla freak, we all benefit from the competition. Just look how the security debate has spurned Microsoft into bettering their browser with the upcoming IE7 offering. :)

Personally, I use both, but I really love the popup, ad-blocking and tabbed browsing functions of Firefox so IE would have to come a long way for it to win me over again.

...then again, I was a diehard Netscape user until IE 4.01 came out, so never say never! :p

[shihchiun]

Possibly, but only if I could get all the features I get with Firefox now: mouse gestures, extensions, tabs, etc.

[YBG]

I'll try it for a while probably..

[hellosky]

Mozilla Firefox is the only way to go?:yes::

Not really.

What would you use if you had to go to Windows Update?

Besides there are other browsers (and their fanboys)

@r3v3rb: Is that supposed to be a girl's chest in the sig? Looks too manly to me. :rofl::

[xxdesmus]

if they fully support standards then i will use it fairly often (to design), otherwise no...it will be just like right now, design for firefox and then fix it for IE :whistle: :no:
