Kr0z Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hah, that's a good one. Trust me...this release of Internet Explorer will not kill FireFox. I actually hated this internet explorer and know many many others that feel the same way. That is why I uninstalled it. FireFox Rox! and Opera is superb as well. These two are way better options in my opinion. To each his own though. :) I think you judge IE7 too early. Keep in mind that IE7 is still about 7 months away from release. Much will be fixed.

MiamiGuy Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think you judge IE7 too early. Keep in mind that IE7 is still about 7 months away from release. Much will be fixed. I hope one of those fixes includes the (what I consider) buttugly interface and being able to move the address bar where you want it to be. Honestly some of the features it has now people make it seem like they're something new when other browsers have them for the longest. Perhaps if IE proves to be the fastest browser and the one that uses least memory, I will try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE7 Preview does use less memory than Firefox / even in beta it has less memory leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neyht Member Posted February 6, 2006 Member Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) All this talk about the gui has actually gotten me to change my firefox settings and add a couple of extensions. Didn't know I could have quick tabs in Firefox. I think I may end up using the tab preview extension instead. My firefox interface looks like a cross between Opera and IE7 now. I doubt IE7 is going to be a death knell to Firefox. Edited February 6, 2006 by Ned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primexx Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Zoom's nice, but Firefox still beats IE7 hands-down. IE7: insecure, slow, broken support for web standards...as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaViD_BRaNDoN Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Because 5299 is the leaked, more buggier build. 5296 is the official Beta 2 Preview. Ahhh... I see... Thanks for the clarification ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpan815 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I like the IE7 Beta 2 Public Preview better because I am unable to login to my Capital One Credit Card Account using Firefox 1.5.0.1 (http://www.capitalone.com). Please Note the following: The public sections of Capital One's website works just fine with Firefox, however they require you to use IE to login to the secure sections of their website.

Have you tried using the IE Tab extension? With that, even Microsoft Update works in Firefox. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slimy Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 The tab extension is kinda funny from how I see it. Fanboy extremities: Joe: "I use the ie tab extension when a stupid website doesn't follow standard. Firefox all the way! IE sux!" John: "I use the ie tab extension because ie is still better but I love firefox's security and other features. Firefox ownz!" Jack: "The hell is the point of using a browser within a browser? Pick one you idiots. IE all the way, it works all the time." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried out all the fringe stuff with the addition of tabs IE is only better what will the fanboi's use an excuse to feel special now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
