New Web Browser Releases

Post by frantik2k3 »

The latest version of Internet Explorer was released yesterday... just wondering if anyone has downloaded and installed it yet.

Personally, I am a die hard FireFox user/fan, but I've read some positive reviews about IE7 and took the virtual tour on the Microsoft website today, and I've got to say that things look good thus far.

Could be some good competition for FF down the line.

Big fan of Opera, Got IExplorer 7 and it's a lot better than the older version, though it has some shitty addons that comes with like a security control taht needs to check everything I do. Was so annoyed I didnt even better changing it, but of course, if one bothers to it's a good browser.

I recommend Opera though. :)

Yeah Opera is the main one I use, followed by AOL Explorer.

I tried one of the previous versions of IE 7 (I think they were beta) and given that experience, I am going to wait until I hear positive things because Ir eally didn't like it. I just thought it was a bit more clumsy and it seemed to have a problem with the buttons on a number of sites I use regularly. However, this was an older version of IE7, so if anyone has something good to say about this new release it would be good to hear.

true - what annoyed me most though was that with all the changes one's that it really could have used were'nt there - say a download resume feature which is present in other browsers. Ohhh well, as I said, if others seem to give it a good review then I might just upgrade to it.

Just installed FireFox 2.0 now, I found the news today online.

The new layout is very good :yes:

EDIT: Merged this FireFox topic with the other new browser discussions. - Frantik2k3
