ie7 - Pretty nice

Filed under: tech tips |

I just installed Internet Explorer 7 (which is still in Beta) this morning and so far I really like it. I always liked tabbed browsing with FireFox and finally Microsoft seems to have gotten that right. I actually like the tabs better in internet explorer because it seems more intuitive.

The upgrade was pretty seamless, though it did require a reboot (which I expected since it’s a core component of the OS). The add-ons seem to work well in 7 so that’s pretty cool.

Only time will tell if I will fall in love with this browser but so far I think it’s pretty nice and I don’t think I’ll roll back to 6 unless I have huge problems.

  3. […] It took me about 10-15 minutes to wrap everything up and I was pretty happy with what I had written. Then I go to preview what I wrote - simple enough. But no - IE7 (which I used to like, then I didn’t, then I kind of did until just now) decides to block the popup - apparently Mr. Gates didn’t get the memo that we all have several effective popup blockers already installed and we don’t need yet another one.
