Would You Switch Back to IE7?

[Help]

What?? is IE7 out? it's not. I can't make such a judgement unless I can test drive it.

[Kr0z]

I'm using Maxthon, might as well be IE7.

[zpeee]

i'm currently using firefox, but sometimes i use IE as well.

there are some websites that can only be loaded by using IE, so i have no choice but using IE

:no: no option for me to choose

[devyant]

IE still must remain in your system for access to sites such as Windows Update, so its here to stay, but I browse primarily with FireFox or Opera. About returning to using IE7, gotta wait for its release before passing any judgement, although I doubt I will.

I wish Netscape was the real Netscape and not AOH$LL... I miss Netscape Gold 3.0 :) If Firefox could clean up the interface a bit make it more stable, sharper made it work with more IE oriented sites I would use Firefox, but since web designers go for the coding that works best in IE, IE it is. And I am not a big fan of MS. But you have to go with what works... Using IE today makes me miss what the real Netscape offered back in the day.

Big reason I may not update to IE7, you know Microsoft is going to be putting in all this extra MS crap, like Messenger this messenger that.. Can you even close Outlook or Outlook Express without MSN messenger notifing you that it's down at the bottom, you can click me to log, without closing Outlook too??? I just want a web browser I don't want to have popups about everything MS has to offer. Thats why I dont use AOL IM or Yahoo IM or MSN messenger, POP ups and ads everywhere. Just give a web browser that has great FUNCTIONALITY and leave me alone. I should not be forced to have MSN Messenger running whenever I open a single MS application.... I can only see the amount of crap IE7 will come bundled with.

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.

That thing about a lot more sites working in IE than FF is rapidly changing. Web Masters are getting fed up with IE and aren't waiting up for it. Most large sites employ hacks nowadays just so they look alright in Internet Explorer. I wish all of them would just declare incompatibility with Internet Explorer and tell people to use a better browser.

MS will need to come up with really damn good browser to let me swich back from Firefox :yes:

[noxcuse]

a good software will attract the attention... I mean, I will switch back if IE7 can totally smash the competitors... :whistle:

Uh..no it isn't.

[Manifold]

To be honest (TBH), I've nullified the use of Extensions in Firefox by being too lazy to install them. I'm just using Firefox 'out-of-box'. And I still prefer it to IE. That and include my permanent inner derision to Microsoft and I'll won't 'use' IE out of choice, only because I'm forced to because of Windows Update.

[PseudoRandomDragon]

I don't even have IE installed. Ha.

[Paulstorm]

I'm already back using IE6...thanks to the MSN Search Toolbar.

[DarkZeus]

I'd rather shoot myself in the nuts twice than switch to IE. :pinch:

[Toxikk Veteran]

hell no. :)

[rickyram56]

I may switch back, depending on how IE7 goes.

[Techno_Funky]

yeps would surely

move over to IE

if it has the features(atlest some,tabs etc.) that opera has

:)

[EduardValencia]

i'm using IE forever,and obviously going with IE7,i use FF 1.0.4 sometimes,i've installed on ma pC :)

IE ROCKS!!!!

[fliflo]

no, I use firefox extensions.

[Rock-Lee]

IE Rocks!!!

[Erftek]

I only use IE when totally necessary, otherwise it's Opera for me.

No for me thus far. It would have to take a lot to make me switch.....a lot.

[oddcrap]

Yes, and I will continue to use it :) Love IE, cant stand firefix. Just my opinion though :D

[jp10558]

Generally I'm not browser fanboi, but I do need to see an advantage to switching. Basically a new browser would need to offer more than what I have now, in a way that would take less energy and time to switch than to add said features (ones that are compelling to me) to the browser I currently use.

Seeing as FireFox doesn't overturn the scales to get me from paying for Opera, I'd be very suprised if IE7 could, but hey, you never know. And, unlike firefox, I'm guessing I'll be downloading IE7 whether I want to or not, so I'll get to trial it at windows update at least. Monopoly power at work folks.

[TokeratorX]

If I use IE,I get viri,popups and all kinda malicous crap in my comp.So IE7 would have to be pretty fixed up to change me back from firefox
