Internet Explorer 7 Beta 1
under Online Life on October 31st, 2005 at 1:02 am
I have had it for a few weeks but i couldnt install it cause well … i didnt get much time and i didnt need it. But now that i downgraded my pc, i finally installed it. Its been about half an hour but this is what i feel.
Some New Stuff:
* The arrangement of stuff is a bit different but ok i guess. But it causes a lot of wastage of space 
* The coulmns and all should have been rearrangable
* Where is my Stop button The Stop and the refresh button have been merged together to replace the go button
I want it back

* Tabs is a good system, like firefox
But its good that if you click the edge of the last one then a new one opens. I was wondering why the older one didnt end 
* Search bar, Firefox style …. good idea tho
Some Incompatibilities That i know of:
* Download Accelerator Plus (DAP) 7.5 doesnt auto trigger. So i had to remove it.
* Im not sure that Trixie is totally compatible either
So I’m using turnaround.
Google.Com Autodetects wether you are using IE 7 and gives you a message on how to make Google your default search engine for the IE 7 Searchbar if it already isnt. Or we could have just clicked the search button and goto search settings and change it there
Performance wise it seems to look good
Working well so far
Tho my status bar is missing myteriously and i dunno how to get it back. If someone knows how …. please help me.
Imho IE would be awesome if it had a bookmarks toolbar cause that makes FF stand out for me This is already there in the copy shortcut function but this only works for shortcut not the images
Its my favourite feature
Also the right click and “Copy link/image location” is a real must
Not as good as firefox (who are we kidding, it’ll prolly never be that good) but its quite good still imo 
Firefox still pwns IE are userability, looks and the ability to modify it with scripts and stuff (trixie is still too small for my liking :P)
Also i dont know why but my site looks different on IE and FF 
There are already a few ways to modify IE (like get rid of the search bar and stuff) so im looking for a way to get my stop button back
And there is one thing that i have found where IE is better than FF IE can display files correctly even if they have spaces in them but for firefox it is a must that those names should have %20
