It is and improvement over the older version, but some things like the location of the toolbars and the akwardness of the Refresh/Stop button are frustrating :angry: . The RSS read functinality is also good, but could be improved as it doesnt display new entries in the Favorites menu like Firefox. And here is a result of the Acid2 Test:

IE7

Firefox 1.06

Deer Park Alpha 2

After playing around with it for a couple of hours, I really like it. I even liked the placement of the File... menu alongside with the buttons to make the top toolbars take even less space.

Popupblocker is really nice, it seems the same as in IE 6 SP2. But it blocks more stuff then the Firefox one.

It launches a lot faster compared to Firefox, about twice as fast.

Its just missing a good password manager. Other than that, its really nice.

I am still angry at MS because they still have not made any changes to support z-index property on drop down menus and listboxes. :angry:

I've been trying that for 4 hours. I see the extracting taking place, but nothing else happens. I guess my computer just don't want it. :cry:

    • 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

      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.
