I’ve been using IE7 now almost exclusively since downloading the final version this week. I’ve already posted that there are some things I like about it compared to Firefox.
Another feature I like is the full-page view of all open tabs.
I’m sure there was a Firefox extension that let me do that as well. That brings […]

It’s not a huge thing, but it is important to me. One of the things I’m really enjoying with the new IE7 is the better use of screen real estate. IE7 takes up about 20% less space for the exact same toolbar configuration as Firefox 1.5. I haven’t downloaded the RC3 candidate for Firefox yet, […]

I decided to try the IE7 beta again to see what’s improved. I really like it! I think they’ve done a better job of organizing and streamlining the default interface, although they have made it hard to really adjust it to even a more minimalist state like I prefer. I really try to shrink and […]

Looks like the Black Hat community has a black-eye to go along with their hats.
Claimed security hole in Firefox “just a joke”
It’s probably not a healthy thing for me, but I kind of wish it wasn’t true. I really do think that if Apple and Firefox had half the market share Microsoft did with Windows […]

Fellow b5′er Mary Ford writes about the black hat community finding an “unpatchable” hole in Firefox’s implementation of some javascript along with 30 more vulnerabilities. Since this is the all-so-popular Firefox, this means it’s impacting Windows, Apple and Linux OS’s.
The flaw is specific to Firefox’s implementation of JavaScript, a 10-year-old scripting language widely used on […]

Microsoft announced today, and by popular opinion, to just go with the straight forward name of IE7 instead of IE7+ for the next version of the browser.
Does this really matter to anyone? Although I agree that just using IE7 is better, is this news? How about we spend less time thinking about what we’re going […]

If you’re testing Internet Explorer 7 beta, then you’re probably interested in knowing that the beta3 version is now available from Microsoft’s website.
I still haven’t downloaded and tried the beta since the first version. It just didn’t improve things any more than I already had with Firefox. I didn’t like their implementation of the tab […]

How’d Microsoft let this one slip by? Wouldn’t you think they’d register pretty much any variation of a new project/application’s name?

It’s not what you’d expect.

For anyone interested, looks like there’s going to be another beta version release of 3 sometime this summer. I’m not really interested really. Unless they shrink the UI along the top, it just doesn’t work for me. I’ve become greatly attached to Firefox and am more than happy with it, and if I want tabs […]

I’ll be downloading and installing this on my computer this evening. I wasn’t really too pleased with my initial experiences of IE7 over IE6. It had tabs, but it did not implement them as well as Firefox does and the user functionality wasn’t much to talk about either. The user interface itself was too bulky […]
