George P Global Moderator Posted September 15, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2010 It would be nice if you could shrink the address bar down as far as it goes, which is about the same size as a tab, but then when you go to use it it would auto expand so you can read more of it. It doesn't seem to do that though, it would be nice. I have 8 tabs open atm, and it's fine really, a bit weird but if you don't really care about how small you make the address bar you have a good chunk of room (depending on your screen res and window size).

andrew_f Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 So far here's the changes I'd like to see in Beta 2: 1) Thumbnails of websites on the new tab screen 2) Ability to move tabs to above or below the address bar 3) Ability to disable address bar (and maybe tabs) from webapps.

George P Global Moderator Posted September 15, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2010 So far all the websites I visit often are working fine. Sure things are missing, but it works good imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penryn Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Number of maximum homepages loading at once still limit by 8 I'd like too see them lift that limit in beta 2 as in other browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightShadow Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Stuff they need in Beta 2 - * As said, website previews on new tab page * Option to move buttons * EXTENSIONS! * A new UI for the bookmark manager/bookmarks bar... They look like they just got pasted on from IE8. Why can't they get a new UI :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted September 15, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted September 15, 2010 I take it the tab bar cannot be moved? No, it can't. I figure they want you to try the pinning options. I expect them to have that in future updates though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViperAFK Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 If I install the 64 bit version, will flash work? Yes because installing the 64 bit version installs the both 2 bit and 64 bit versions of ie9 and 32bit is set to default. But you can use flash in 64 bit as of today: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/938332-preview-of-64-bit-version-of-flash-player-available/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 lol, I get this on facebook! You may want to upgrade your browser.You're using an old version of Internet Explorer to browse Facebook right now. Facebook will work better for you if you upgrade or switch to another browser. Upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 Switch to Firefox Switch to Safari Switch to Google Chrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Gotta say the one thing I still hate about IE is its password management is very bad compared to chrome, opera and firefox. It doesn't remember my user name and pass on many sites and it keeps logging me out of some as well. Oh yeah and no spellecheck. Suprised at the lack of that.

sic133 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 IE installation was not responding and failed. Then I restarted and it seems like it was installed. Things I don't like: Back button being cut off (I'm sure they can fix this.) Tab bar placement (Not much of a problem opening 8 tabs on 1920x1200 but it can be annoying on a laptop) Lots of crashes. Fonts look blurry, funky. Text doesn't display sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulgafree Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 IE9 is working fine for me. Neowin actually didn't work for some time. It just wouldn't display anything. On the first run IE asked me to disable add-ons. Actually I think this and the improvements make te navigation snappier. Has anyone tried to download a file? Nice!

I won't use IE9 unless I can move the tab bar to its own line. The combo is ugly as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 15, 2010 Supervisor Share Posted September 15, 2010 If I install the 64 bit version, will flash work? 64bit installer installs both versions, also, go to adobe labs, they're FINALLY working on the 64bit flash plugin, i installed it and it works well edit: something else i noticed, the send feedback is glitched, it says i don't have the windows live ID sign-in assistant installed, maybe it's just not compatible with the one from the windows live beta suite, if so they really need to fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_f Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 IE installation was not responding and failed. Then I restarted and it seems like it was installed. Things I don't like: Back button being cut off (I'm sure they can fix this.) That's by design, Windows Phone 7 and Zune has the same technique (although normally cut off at the top instead of bottom) - I imagine it's part of the Metro design language.
