IE7 problems

[gdf]

firefox for me. it is a huge difference in speed on dial up and the connection is much more stable. it goes down every 2 minutes on ie but only maybe 1 time in every 20 i am online with firefox.

firefox is the way 2 go!
you can even get a skin that makes it look exactly like ie7, with tabs and everything.
plus firefox is faster

Wow there's an IE plugin for Firefox? What's it do? I MUST have it. =P

I'm back with IE7, nothing beats IE7...

...I've been using FireFox since early 2006 and Opera since early/mid 2005 (before anyone asks YEAH I UPDATE). but neither of them beats IE7 for so many reasons, thou FireFox has some of the coolest plugins

:rofl:What are your reasons?

:rofl:What are your reasons?

Because IE7 is better, and I don't have to answer to you...

...It's my own personal choice, and I don't need a circus monkey (or anyone) to tell me what to use. Everybody seems to go for what everybody else say's is the best, which I always steer clear of what anyone tells me is the best so I went back to IE7 which I foundout it was a plugin that caused mine to crash which now is all sorted

People may be against Microsoft's programs, but the web browser is ok - plus it's the only one that works with Hotmail on Windows Live Mail (to my knowledge)

Opera is considered my 2nd browser, too many people online tell people what to use (just like OS's)

No-one is telling you what do do bro, if you don't want to use FF that's fine, but don't be so tetchy about it.
Are you on the Vampire Rag or something?

VampDude, hey, I'm not telling you what to use -- I'm all for freedom of choice. I love the fact that people can choose to use IE if they want. However, I wish that more people would choose to use a different browser because from a technical standpoint, it's a horribly broken browser that just keeps on getting worse and is majorly impeeding the advancement of the internet. I don't know if you do any web design, but if you just spend a few minutes browsing the web about web design issues you'll quickly find that IE itself is the biggest barrier in web design advancement and internet application development. If it were a less widely used browser, web designers could just ignore it, but since it holds such a massive market share (at least 90% in most cases), web designers are forced to continue supporting it, despite the fact that it's a massive waste of time, energy, and resources (IE development can be so problematic and unpredictable that web designers have to budget anywhere between two to three times as much timeto fully support it -- as compared to the ammount of time it takes to fully support the other major browsers).

IE was the best and leader for years, but Microsoft has done very little to maintain that quality in the past seven years, and there's quite a bit of credibility to the assertion that Microsoft is intentionally retarding it's development on the grounds that dependable, fully, and properly working web applications pose a significant threat to it's own lucrative software business.

Continue to be a stringent IE supporter if that's what suits you, but there's ample evidence that it's a technically inferior browser that, by design, exposes your system to inexcusable security risks and receives very poor, intermittent support from it's own maker. You should expect regular problems.
