Internet Explorer 7.0

I recently upgraded to IE7.0 - I quite like the tags, streamlined layout and, most of all, how seemingly all text has the appearance of a nicely rounded Verdana font.

However, my girlfriend, absolutely HATES it - she REALLY REALLY hates it. She's been asking me to change it back all week.

So - do you have IE 7.0 and what do you think of it?

I don't use IE - haven't for years and never plan to go back to it. Firefox 2 works for me just fine.

Same as moshboy-san. Firefox has worked so well ever since I first installed it that I see absolutely no reason to try out the IE7.

Now seriously, Firefox 1.5 series is much better than Firefox 2. I think they really jumped the shark with the new one.

Me? Safari.

I also prefer 1.5 over 2.0 as far as Firefox is concerned. I became used to the streamlined way in which it all functioned (doesn't like PDF files though but has steadly improved) and so 2.0 seems a step backwards for me.

I haven't used IE since Win 95. Looks like it only took 10 years for it to catch up with what real browsers have been doing for ages....

Looks like this thread is turning into "I dont use IE at all" one... It makes me even more curious of how new IE looks...

And btw, I havent used IE since...erm...since I installed FF for the first time.

I've started using IE again, after using Firefox on my old comp. The new one came with IE and I just haven't bothered switching. But not 7.0 since I would have to bother to do something to get that.

By the way. I've switched to Firefox 2.0 after IE7.0 wouldn't load about 6 or 7 out of every 10 pages I tried to open. I had to keep renewing it.

Firefox seems faster, I like the lay out, I like almost everything.

Only thing I harbour for, is IE 6.0's favourites box.

Hm... IE7 you say?? I think Firefox-wannabe would be more like it...

I use both of them, but mostly Firefox.

I use IE7 and I'm quite happy with it.

No. My Windows does not even boot anymore . No wonder knowing the company behind it...

So Firefox is my main browser, but I occasionally also use konqueror and even lynx.

I "accidentally" loaded IE7.0 on my work computer against the will of the LAN Admins...and also didn't tell them at first...but now I'm sort of stuck in the "testing" phase for them.

I must say I like it. Except the fact that I couldn't find my favourites for the first 20 minutes or so...but the thing I absolutely like is the clarity option. Especially for my widescreen Laptop. I always found things harder to read when stretched, but the IE7.0 clarity option helped tremendously.

I've never been a fan of tabs...which is why I don't use firefox.

Unfortunately, I've installed IE7... I don't like it... It reminds me of Firefox, which I don't like... Hehe... This might be safer than IE6, but I don't like the design, and since I've used IE6 for so long, I don't wanna have another browser ATM.. But I'm not quite sure how to switch back :/
