You what? IE doesn't support transparent PNG's and Firefox has done for ages.

I've never left IE. It works and it works good so why fix something that works? I'm really looking forward to IE7 just because of transparent pngs.

fix something that works? and in the same sentence you basically acknowledge IE broken png support and its being "fixed" in IE7. If your'e only after Transparent pngs, its available, has been for a while, and its only a click away

So IE7 will have tabs.

Will it have user editable features as readily accessible as about:config, user.js, userContent.css and userChrome.css?

Themes and extensions made by a community of fellow users or commercial add-ons and plug-ins with whatever mal/ad/spyware thrown in?

I will get the Service Pack, of course, but will probably use IE as much as I always have.....seldom, if ever.

It works in the sense that it can browes the web fine, thats what I mean by it works. The PNG support doesn't have anything to do with browsing the web, its just something I would like to see extra, if they werent gona add it I would still use IE.

I like using firefox because it is like saying screw you MS and your "free" browser. I also like supporting open source community developed software. Sometimes it is good to root for the underdawg! There are lots of reasons not to go back to using IE when 7.0 comes out, but these are only some of the ones I could think of.

Firefox or Opera are really good browsers aside from IE. Since 1996, I can say through my watching the NEWS, that since 1996, IE has ALWAYS had the SAME security hole. makes me wonder what MS is upto. Like they purposely put those holes there. :no:

I'll stick with firefox since it's had tab browsing for a long time now. Geez, IE7 will have tab browsing, which leads me to believe MS has fallen way behind it's competitors. :yes:

My personal opinion:

I've tried every other major browser, and i still have firefox on my computer.. but IE has suited me the best and ive been using it since version 3.0

I just hope Microsoft keep some standards of IE6 (they dont completely revamp and baffle users with a totally different interface etc..)

Just hope they can get over all the controversial "security issues" and stuff and of course bring a new strong challenge for the other browsers... for me its Internet Explorer all the way :yes:

Probably not, FireFox is far better than IE.

In your opinion. In the opinion of people who don't care about the nerdy background stuff, and who just want websites to simply work (and yes, a lot more websites work in IE than FF), IE is King.

    • Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.
    • Yeah Patchou was an active member here, good ol' times indeed.
    • Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
