Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1

[Makeshift Hammer]

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.

you have a dodgy version then

[sirholio]

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.)

This is a little off topic, but does anyone have an plugin for IE7 that add an "Up" button to the toolbar? Like the button on the Google toolbar and in Maxthon?

Could someone possibly using longhorn, post a large version of the new IE7 'e' logo. Either using Longhorn's 'vectorised icons' or some large publicity logo...

God, look at that messy Firefox! You should have picked a better example. IE looks better than the Firefox picture. :laugh:

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.

well I changed icons position on firefox and now looks like IE7 lol and rss it's better reading it personnel bar... the rss on IE7 seems cool and beauty but not practical and simple like the one on firefox.

During the installation on a pc i got the error lower in this message. I didn't got that error on my other pc. Any idea what is wrong and what could be the solution ?

[MellonCollie]

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)

Well, Finally got my hands on IE7 cracked to bypass the WGA stuff. Ill post some screenies soon. :yes:

[blowMeNeo]

You boys and girls want fast? Go in and disable active scripting. IE flies. And a side affect of this is that IE7 is much safer to use. Just re-enable it for those sites that need it.

[ZonoBurk]

Finally got it downloaded! :D

[-=SD=-]

It's not bad, would be nice if you could scroll through tabs with the mouse wheel though.

Using it with Maxthon, really just wanted the png transparency.

[myst]

it sucks! all i can say :(

How would we go about doing this? :ninja:

where exactly?

[TimRogers]

Are there any ways to edit it so that you can move the toolbars?

[blowMeNeo]

where exactly?

586287140[/snapback]

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.

Man, why is there a big gap for every links? That's what I don't like...

See the BIG space between NASA and movies?
