I still like IE6 better, IE6 seems more better for me. I can't really explain it but IE7 seems too colourful but there's probably a way to change it.

well it took me some time to get use to it and i didn't really find much new features, to me it just looks different with tabs i use it though, but its something that will never replace my FF.

I haven't got the newest Internet Explorer 7 yet, Beta 3 I think.

It's a lot better than version 4, 5, 6.

Tabs are cool. I've noticed that they are a bit slow when creating a new one (I'm only using beta though), but a lot quicker than Firefox still. Even though they should be blank, they show "Connecting" when they are opened (even with a new window), dunno if it's fixed for final.

There is more room taken by the page, rather than the horrendous amount of toolbar buttons linke IE6. Without my custom Opera UI, Internet Explorer gives more space to the page than Opera does!

I have having to use IE6 at school, hopefully they get version seven soon.

This bugs the hell out of me. Not only does it change it in IE7 - which I'll only ever use for Patch Tuesdays - but it also changes it in things like the MMC (services.msc, etc), my active desktop (which thank God still works, but looks horrible) and the World of Warcraft game launcher...

So basically anything which uses Microsoft's HTTP renderer. :(

Oh, and it'd been out ~1 day and there was an exploit in it already (albeit low-medium risk)

Edit: My bad, you can turn ClearType off :)

Hurray, it took me a while to find it. It should be off by default.

Haha :D. Firefox is an opensource browser, so if they would add dirty little things in FF the opensource community will certainly let the world know. There is no way there is spyware in FF.

What might have happened is that you catched some spyware from somewhere else that plugins to FF (like a browser toolbar), and because of that a badly written anti-spyware program deleted FF itself. Or you have downloaded FF from an untrusted location that bundled it with spyware.


Say what you want, but i stick with IE. It works fine for me. It is trustworthy, it is safe and good enough as a browser.

dus ik ben tevreden, if you can read it.

I think it has improved, even though Opera and FF are the only browsers I'm ever gonna use. (Except when I'm on MS)

The GUI isn't so much to say "hurray" for, as I honestly just don't like it. But, there has been some CSS fixes and it supports png alpha transparency.

So, IE7 is better than IE6, but it's not a good browser anyways.

Safe??? Umm.. Yeah, safer than IE6 but far away from safe.
