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.

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.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By RejZoR · Posted

      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.

    • Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Playground Games confirms Forza Horizon 6 save wipe bug by Taras Buria Forza Horizon 6 was launched last month to critical acclaim (check out our review here), and it became a smash hit in an instant. Now, weeks into the launch, with die-hard fans clocking hundreds of hours, Forza Horizon 6 is facing a serious issue: save wipes. After multiple complaints on Reddit and social media, the studio issued a statement. The problem with missing saves came shortly after Playground Games promised the initial batch of gameplay tweaks and improvements. Unfortunately, there seems to be no temporary fixes for those affected by unexpected save wipes. However, the studio published a new support document with a few important steps users should try. First, affected gamers should open a support ticket immediately (go here to file one) so that the support team can try recovering the lost progress by reverting to an earlier save. Playground Games says this should be done the same day the issue occurs. Meanwhile, gamers are urged not to start new play sessions or create new saves. The studio also published a few things gamers should try to avoid to prevent potential progress loss: Ensure your Gaming Services app on PC or XBOX Series X|S console is fully up to date. On XBOX Series X|S consoles, disable Quick Resume for Forza Horizon 6: To disable Forza Horizon 6 from using Quick Resume, highlight the game box art anywhere in the console experience (Home, My Games & Apps, Pins, etc) and then press the Menu button, then go to Manage game and add-ons > Quick Resume settings > Disable Quick Resume. Ensure you are online when ‘quitting’ the game. Give your saved time to sync to the cloud before powering off or switching devices. Do not force quit the game during save screens. Do not power off the device during gameplay. Always "Quit" (console) or "Exit to desktop" (PC) once you've finished your play session, ensuring the save icon is not visible when you’re closing the game. Before turning off your console, shutting down your PC, or force-closing the Steam app, give your devices or clients at least a few minutes to ensure your latest progress has been synchronized with the cloud. This will reduce the risk of progress reversions as you switch between different platforms. XBOX Series X|S consoles, Steam, and the XBOX app on PC all include game save indicators that confirm your progress has been synced. You can read more about the bug in the official support document here. Forza Horizon 6 is currently available on PC (Steam and the Microsoft Store), Xbox Series X|S, and Game Pass. The game is also coming to PlayStation 5 later this year.
