Internet Explorer 7

[Red Dragon]

I have heard good and bad things about it. I just want to know anyone elses opinion on it before I download it. My mother said she likes it, but this is my mother talking here . Anyone's help would be appreciated. Right now I am running IE6.

Note:Please no IE bashing or suggesting alternete browsers (Firefox, Opera, etc.)

I got it today. I have mixed feeling about it.

It blue-screened my old computer.

It errored out five times on my new computer.

I don't use it anymore.

I've had some difficulty with it, and decided to try firefox as an alternative. I'm back with IE7, which I prefer over firefox despite it's problems. at least IE7 can scroll and load pages correctly.

Re: Internet Explorer 7

I don't have issues with Firefox scrolling and loading pages.

So Firefox bashing is ok then . I also have never had problems with any page I've visited with scrolling, even with inner iframes and such, on Firefox.

Of course I haven't been able to try IE7 since it's for XP only and I have 2000. But from what I've seen it's just like every other browser out there finally. So I'll be staying with FF. Not just because I can't get IE7.

But I don't really see any reason not to upgrade to IE7 if you insist on using IE. It has tabs, it's more secure (well that's what they say anyway), and it looks flashier. Of course the taking away of the menu bar is baffling, but you can add it back, just it's under the navigation now.

IE7 is better than 6, but FireFox still wins buy a longshot...

I have IE, Firefox, and Opera on my machine. Each has a purpose.

Scrolling problems, like sometimes having to minimize and maximize in order to scroll after Opening in New Window?

Re: Internet Explorer 7

No, the pages would occasionally stutter along while you scrolled. it wasnt smooth at all. in addition, new tabs wouldnt open right away. the tab would be there, but it took longer than IE to load the page. then when I tried switching from a loading page to one that was already loaded, the loaded page would appear as blank too, and the whole thing would lock up for a few seconds.

firefox just sucks on my computer, I guess. IE7 for me.

Terr, I would like to know what your purposes are for each browser.

IE = playing games in flash, watching videos
Opera = browsing with cookies off
Firefox = browsing with cookies on

Re: Internet Explorer 7

Does Firefox not work for flash and videos on your computer, or does it just run better in IE?
