What do you like about Internet Explorer 7 and what are the things you don't like?



Thanks

On my new web site the logo gets hidden sometimes. Doesn't happen in IE 6 or FireFox.



Some frames on web sites are showing up really odd as well as some include scripts.

Had it installed at work for all of 1 day before it was removed. We found that too many of our third party apps either didn't support it or gave weird results. We're going to try the install in another 2-3 months once our 3rd party apps have all been patched.



At home I didn't bother as I run Firefox and Safari for my browsers.

I run Firefox on my home PC and we have not upgraded at our office either. I would say stick with IE6 or Firefox.

Our work is blocking download of it due to some application conflicts. Apparently live meeting is not supported. Anyway, I have IE7 @ home and love it.

Mark,



What additional features does it have over IE6?

 

[joey reed]

i have it on my notebook and besides the new look i like how you can have tabs of diffrent sites you want to look at and sense i have upgraded i have had not one pop up

I agree with joey. I have had it since "Beta" and no problems here. I like the tab feature, but just looking at it, you really wouldn't know the difference from IE6. Just looks alittle more modern is all and it has the tab feature like Firefox.

No roblem here. Had it on for 4-5 months.

Had it as a beta and only issue was my Mcafee AV goofed up with it. Have it now (using avg) and love it. It's on all the computers in the house. Also have Firefox, but haven't used it in a while since I have been deployed for most of the last 6 months. Be home in the morning and can't wait to get some real bandwidth for a change.

IE7, compared to IE6 gives you better controls over privacy data and managing add-ons. You can set data to be deleted upon closing the browser in 7. The phishing filter was added but in my opinion delays the opening of a page due to taking the time to scan it. It does work though. Adding the tab feature put IE in closer race with Firefox.



I use both and have cases of pages not displaying correctly in both. Not so much one more than the other but it happens in both browsers. Personally, I think Firefox displays faster than IE. IE7 is definitely an improvement over IE6.

IE7 has an anti-phising function which works pretty well.

I have it on my work PC, work laptop and home PC. Love it. It's a bit slower than I'd like (especially with the phishing filter on). I like the ability to have upto 8 home pages.... let me look at all kinds of guns and sport tracs as soon as I open it!
