Title: IE 7 Post by: Dazzza on Thursday, October 19, 2006, 23:35:27 Reading today that an auto Microsoft update in Nov is going to whack all Internet Explorer users onto version 7.
Hope it's improved since the beta version it fucking did my head in no end. Title: IE 7 Post by: STFC Village on Thursday, October 19, 2006, 23:53:55 Spoken to a few people about this (nerds), and they tell me it's the puppies plonkers
Title: IE 7 Post by: Dazzza on Friday, October 20, 2006, 00:00:31 I couldn't get used to the tabbed browsing at the top of the screen in the beta version. If you had more that three or four windows open you had to then scroll left and right.
Hopefully improved since then, I'll give it a whirl anyway. Title: IE 7 Post by: Ginginho on Friday, October 20, 2006, 05:26:07 I've been using the Beta version, it's pretty good apart from a few minor problems.
I like the tabbed browsing actually, I prefer it to having several windows open.

Title: IE 7 Post by: magic8ball on Friday, October 20, 2006, 07:49:48 Firefox is indeed the way forward.
Annoys the hell outta me that IE gets so much usage when its one of the worst browsers out there. Title: IE 7 Post by: magicroundabout on Friday, October 20, 2006, 10:31:54 i have BT Broadband and that has tabbed browsing which is excellent.
definitely the way foward. Microsoft are about 3 years too late with that though Title: IE 7 Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, October 20, 2006, 10:35:34 Quote from: "magicroundabout" i have BT Broadband and that has tabbed browsing which is excellent. definitely the way foward.

Title: IE 7 Post by: Panda Paws on Friday, October 20, 2006, 11:12:34 Quote from: "Piemonte" Firefox 2.0 is out soon apparantly 8) Yeah I'm using RC3 at home - pretty decent stuff. I'd wait for that rather than bother with IE7. In fact ... I'd use the release candidate for Firefox. Probably more stable than the full release of IE.

I've dabbled with other browsers before but you can't beat IE6. It's like a ropey pair of old trainers that you can't face throwing away. Besides I'm not I'd be so keen on a wank crescent of tabs. Much prefer windows so I can thwap back and forth between fist weekly and S-Club juniors. Title: IE 7 Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, October 20, 2006, 17:02:42 There's an option to turn tabbed browsing off in Firefox. Don't know about IE because I never use it anymore.
Title: IE 7 Post by: flammableBen on Monday, October 30, 2006, 22:57:12 Just got around to installing firefox 2, not much different really. Can't really beat firefox with adblock installed. Also IE Tab is pretty handy for the occasional page which doesn't quite work right in firefox. Mouse Gestures are as sexy as fuck aswell although I haven't got around to installing them onto my mum's laptop yet and it's the only tinternet machine I have at the moment.
I also just discovered that middle clicking on a link in firefox opens it up in a new tab which will save me reaching for the ctrl key. Nothing like tabbing between fist weekly and S-Club juniors. |
