Normally, I use Maxthon as my main browser here at work.  It handles tabs the best in my opinion.  Double click the bar and it creates a new tab, double click the tab and it closes.  I can get used to the middle click, but I'd rather double click to close.

Same with avant......but i put that up for the tards bitching about the missing "x" button. don't they even bother trying other options.

Haha, i hear ya. actually i dont think i meant to quote you. just clicked the wrong button or something.

it's weird how people forget that using software is all based on cause and effect. not sure what a button does? click it. Generally, within a few tries, you'll figure it out.

edit:

to other people having trouble with installing it: The way I did it was explained in the other thread for using IE7 without installing. you need a way to extract the file to a folder,*winrar*, delete one of the files, a folder, and create one new file. works like a champ.

:p you're not kidding, that's generally how i learn most things (and how i sometimes break them too, but that's all part of learning :p .)

As an aside, if anyone decides to uninstall the i.e.7 beta, it unistalls (well, rolls back to your previous version of i.e) perfectly well & cleanly (short of leaving the additional favourites it adds and the link in the system tools menu.)

IE works if you double click to make a new tab...

and just middle click to close the tabs.

When you select a favourite it opens in the same page unless you create a new tab first. That bugged me, so i uninstalled it. The "create a tab THEN add the contect" idea is a really bad one.

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

Opera 8.02 (Just adding another comparison)

where exactly?

Tools, Internet options, security, select internet, select custom, scroll down to scripting and disable active scripting. restart the browser. Just remember that IE needs this for some websites to work (like Windows Update) so you will have to re-enable it for those sites.

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
