Would You Switch Back to IE7?

[PermaSt0ne]

I can't cos i use linux, but even if i could, i'd stick with firefox. Its just the extensions, the open source ness, then whole stick it to ms attitude

well said (Y)

[giantsnyy]

i'll give it a try, but most likely i'll stay with firefox, i've been using it since it was frist introduced and i've grown very accustomed to it

[EduardValencia]

i'm on IE,if IE7 comes out i'll stick forever :laugh:

i have firefox installed,and i use it sometimes

[Bawx]

IE7 will never have the features Maxthon has.. so no, I would not switch. That's why I don't use Firefox, almost no features. Not even tabbed windows.

[Larney]

I already use IE

Never had any problems, heh.

[Bawx]

No, we're talking IE7. Tabbed windows, new features, etc..

OF COURSE YOU'LL USE IT! :D

(or get maxthon) :ninja:

[Ethere]

I'm planning on sticking with Opera. I love having pretty much everything I need in a browser, and not having to use multiple applications for browsing, email and chat ;)

[eminem213486]

if ie7 does not include autologin, which it prob wont, im sticking with slimbrowser, which still uses the IE engine but has a hella nice UI

groups, autologin, popup blocking, proxylist hmm hmm

i seriously dont know why this browser isnt anymore popular than ****ty the other IE shells out there.

Obviously you haven't tried Maxthon.

Jesus..

[cdcase]

after all the activeX and security cr@p we went through in the past?

NO.

Wait, you mean MDI or tabbed browsing? Firefox has tabbed browsing but not MDI. And no, "true" tabbed browsing does not include MDI.

[wutang01]

Maybe. I like FireFox only for its Tabbing ...

Internet Explorer makes a mess on my TaskBar.

So if Internet Explorer supports Tabbing ... I'm going back to Microsoft-orientated products.

The reason why I prefer Windows Media Player 10 over WinAmp is because of its Unicode support. I can play my Asian music with respective language characters (instead of gibberish like C^@*&z%)

Same reason why I *might* prefer the Internet Explorer 7 over FireFox 1.02/1.5/2.0

I'll have to try them out before I make my final decision ...

[Erftek]

Oh wait....will they make it for Mac & Linux too......opps! Firefox already made for other OSs. Not switching back. Been using Mozilla products since prior the 1.0 suite.

[strumbum]

While we are on this track . . . .

Is Doom 4 or Half-Life 3 better?

Is Windows Longhorn or Mac OS11 better?

etc.

etc.

:no:

[Ivand]

Probably.. It depends on the features and the security

[groingo2]

Why of course...it's either that or drop a floor jack on my foot!

Truthfully, I use a browser shell called TheWorld browser that makes IE behave itself and work very well.

[edgefield]

m$ = evil

so i would use anything exept m$, it just so happens that firefox is the best alturnative.

[revvo]

Already use IE and nothing will make me switch, I don't trust open source and I'm not going to pay $$$ for a browser (like Opera)

585536008[/snapback]

I understand the paying part. To pay when free alternatives are provided is silly but not to trust Open Source? You are ignoring a ****load of information my friend and let me take a guess, you don't even care of what's going on with OpenSource projects.

Myth: The code is open so it's insecure

Truth: Wrong.So many companies and people contribute in making things better by doing fixes using the code and submitting fixes within days unlike MS who take weeks. If that was true, then the Linux Kernel would be the most insecure piece of software out there but I beg the differ. People involved in OSS aren't 12 yr old kids who think they are cool cause they can hack someone using software. These are professionals from Intel, Novell, IBM and many other major companies who are involved in OSS.

Nothing will make me switch to IE unless Microsoft prevents the installation of 3rd party browsers and that will never happend. IE has screwed (and still screwing) far too many companies and individuals. Why give it a second chance when something else does the job 1000 times better.

doom4 because HL3 is just an expansion pack to HL2.

There is no MacOS11 planned, however, Longhorn is better than OSX 10.4

:p

anyway, you missed the point of hte thread. i said in the first post the features that are most likely going to be in IE7, and asked if people would switch back IF those features are included.

uhuh :cry: :huh:

anyway to the original thread subject I will probably stick with Firefox unless I.E. does something more amazing then Firefox with better bigger effects.. in the end I just want a browser with tabs, pop up blocker & an adblocker. Oh yes it must be fast and efficient too.

[Berto]

I'll try it out once its a full blown release, but I'mma stick to Firefox. I lost my trust in I.E. a long long time ago.

[Denis W. Veteran]

Dunno if someone brought this up, but where's the option 'I'll continue to use both browsers?' I would use Firefox since it doesn't literally power the GUI component of the OS (safer or not, I don't mind), but then IE is way more reponsive than Firefox (try using the browser on a slow XP system and you'll see).

For now, I'm with the first option.
