alrighty, am I to assume that this will replace IE6 on my Machine? I figure it will, and probably won't install it here at work, *shouldn't do that anyway*, but who knows. I was kind of hoping it would work as it's own separate program rather than replace what I've got.

If it does replace it, is there an uninstall that will get it back to normal?

In the Advanced tab of the options, none of the radio buttons work properly. Well they do work, but they all appear blank.

Another bug is that the RSS reader is useless. It would be only useful on websites which only have an RSS feed and not a full website. And I'm not sure there are many.

Also, if there is only one tab left, you can't close it. You should be able to click close and the website will dissapear and be replaced with about:blank.

Actually, there is an easier way to use IE7beta on Spanish (or other non-English) systems than the one someone posted a while ago.

It involves editing update.inf in the update folder.

1) Save a spare copy of update.inf

2) Edit the original update.inf

Locate: LanguageType = %LangTypeValue%

Replace with: LanguageType = ES

3) Save the file.

4) Begin install by running update.exe

5) When the splash screen appears and before clicking Next, overwrite update.inf with the original file you saved in another folder.

6) Install

(Note: replace ES with your regional code, for example FR for France and so on)

This worked for me. Well I'm glad to see that all my sites look OK in the new IE, but I wonder if there have been any actual changes in the IE7 engine or not. Try to open an FTP site - it will open a new IE6 window!!!

Apart from that, changing between tabs is blazing fast, it starts faster than Firefox and, even though it looks a bit funny, you get used to it. Not a single crash since install.

CTRL + W closes the tab...but faster is to:

middle click on the tab and it will close...

or right click the tab and choose close tab :D

Used it for 20 minutes, feels good, GUI needs changing, though not bad IMHO, don't see a refresh button also I noticed that my ghost surf vault stopped working, but feels faster than v6 I.E.

The Phishing module seems to be active, though with this in mind would nice that a little mouse over alert would tell me what I should expect.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By Case_f · Posted

      Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)

      Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.

    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
