Guest Jeff@unknown.com Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Although I have kept up with all the critical updates on my XP systems, including SP3, I have avoided IE7. When it first came out and installed itself, I hated it and uninstalled it. Since I use Firefox 99% of the time and only use IE for the Windows updates, it was not great problem. I've been hearing that users now seem to not mind the recent versions of IE7 and I am therefore considering downloading it on the off chance that it is safer to use than IE6 when I have to use it instead of Firefox. Are the gurus here using IE7 instead of IE6? At one time it was pretty much thumbs down for IE7. Jeff

Guest bobster Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Re: IE 7? Jeff, I certainly don't qualify as a "guru" but here's my $.02 on IE7 I used IE6 since its inception until just recently when I made the jump from Windows 98SE to XP/IE7, recently updated to SP3. I couldn't be happier with IE7. It is stable, fast, reliable and safe. I haven't seen a BSOD, virus, spyware, malware, or hijack attempt event in the few months I've been using it. The tabbed browsing is handy but is not the main reason I like it. Like Firefox, there are many add-ons available. I would avoid most of them as there have been cases where they caused problems. They are easy to manage via the tools menu if you want to try them out. One add-on I am using and particularly like is the Quero toolbar which gives one the address bar sizing and button location flexibility of IE6 but is otherwise unobtrusive and retains all the good features of IE7 such as the tabbed browsing. It also provides direct searching from the address bar which I find very handy. Good luck with IE7. I think you'll like it.
