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.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
