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

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.

      As much as I love owning my own hardware, it's hard to argue with the value. I'm not a huge gamer, I'd actually be interested in a cheaper plan with limited monthly hours, or even a pay-by-the-hour plan.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Well, they (LibreOffice/The Document Foundation) are bitchy and whiny, yes, but they're right, at least this time. It doesn't make sense to market something as "free and open source to thwart dependency on foreign companies' software" but at the same time, using the format of said companies (Microsoft) by default. That way, you are changing nothing, essentially, you're just using another UI. I'm not saying they should drop other formats altogether, but they shouldn't default to the thing they're trying to run away from in the first place. If you're gonna do something, just go all the way in, don't stop in the middle, IMO.

      Vivaldi 8.0.4033.46 by Razvan Serea Vivaldi is a cross-platform web browser built for – and with – the web. A browser based on the Blink engine (same in Chrome and Chromium) that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you. Vivaldi is produced with love by a founding team of browser pioneers, including former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, who co-founded and led Opera Software. Vivaldi’s interface is very customizable. Vivaldi combines simplicity and fashion to create a basic, highly customizable interface that provides everything a internet user could need. The browser allows users to customize the appearance of UI elements such as background color, overall theme, address bar and tab positioning, and start pages. Vivaldi features the ability to "stack" and "tile" tabs, annotate web pages, add notes to bookmarks and much more. Vivaldi 8.0.4033.46 fixes: [Chromium] Update to 148.0.7778.263 ESR (includes security fixes from 149.0.7827.102/103) Download: Vivaldi 64-bit | 139.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Vivaldi 32-bit | ARM64 View: Vivaldi Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'm surprised they haven't found a way to fix that. As much as I don't like software wasting memory, a file manager is the kind of thing that makes sense to keep running in active memory for super-fast recall. I suspect that is why MS makes their File Explorer part of the main explorer.exe shell, so that it is guaranteed to always be running.
