+Elі Subscriber² Posted February 11, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted February 11, 2011 I can't believe it. How HARD is it to add a simple "feature" to the bookmars bar, like MOVING from one folder to another, without having to click on each damn folder?!?!? Chrome does that, why on earth isn't this on every browser?! I don't get what you are saying, that feature IS there, click on the Favorites Icon then instead of clicking on "Add to Favorites" click on the Arrow next to it, then select "Organize Favorites" from the dropdown menu?

You don't get it. If you have 2 folders on the bookmars bar, for example, and you're clicking on one of them, try moving your mouse to the other one and see if it opens like in Chrome. It won't. You have to click on it. That's my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Try out the new Tracking Protection lists: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Browser/TrackingProtectionLists/Default.html I tried easylist and it doesn't seem to actually block ads....

Ayepecks Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 *golf clap* You're expert opinion at it's best. Just like IE8 before it was slammed with requests for a download manager as well I'm sure. But are the posters on connect, you know, us few tech savey minority the only target group? Don't think so. I'm not arguing the need or not for one, one would be nice, I'm just saying that there's other priorities that had to get done with IE9, like, you know, standards, maybe. Unless those aren't as important now. I'd bet all the money in the world that if you polled individuals on major features they'd like to see in IE9 that spell check would be -- at the very least -- in the top three features, and most likely number one. Tech savvy people are most definitely not the only group wanting spell check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Spellcheck is useful to anyone, be it your average joe or a tech savvy user. its also a basic feature in pretty much every major browser but IE. And IMO you don't have to be really tech savvy to appreciate a download manager. The way IE downloaded files was obnoxious, with a nice simple dl manager like it has now you get some nice features for managing downloads, and its also far more streamlined. Downloading a file in IE8: Click download link YELLOW BAR AT THE TOP OMG ARE YOU SURE Save file, file downloads, then you have to wait for it to copy to wherever you told it to save to (still have no idea why the hell it does that) If you have multiple downloads at once it becomes a mess, there is no pausing downloads. Downloading file in IE9: Click download link Click save (you don't even ever have to see the dl manager unless you click view downloads) ??? Profit!

epk Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Do all the other browsers have spell check? I use Firefox and tbh I never felt I needed one (might as well check a dictionary if I'm not sure about a word). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ci7 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 frankly speaking the experience is much better (Y) compared to Beta they squished every-bug i noticed while testing beta build. :) good job MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mattburles Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 is there any chance they might change the tabs back to how they looked in the beta? the RC ones are not as nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted February 11, 2011 Global Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2011 "didn't close the whole application" obviously means only one tab crashed. :rolleyes: No it doesn't smart ass, the whole thing could lock up as well without fully closing down since the base process that runs the window and address bar would still be going. I once had the leaked build lock up but not crash fully till it finally restarted the process on it's own and unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Looks like MS finally got the message with regards to their inconsistent UI. I got this screenshot of Office 2014 Alpha, and it finally brings unity to the appearance of Windows programs. That looks distinctly to me like an edited screenshot of a Windows Explorer Window, with a blank word document transposed over the usual contents of the explorer window. I can't think of any valid reason why Microsoft would need a folder browsing bar in Office :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea of a browser is to view finely-tweaked-to-the-last-pixel-webpages, not just sit there and stare at your uberl33t-t\/\/34k3d UI for hours on end.
