IE7 sucks!!!!

  #1  
Jan 30th, 2008
I didnt realize just how bad it was until the other day!

We have an XP upstairs and i use IE7 when im on that one and it has EVERY TOOLBAR enabled and looks disgusting!!! (Yahoo,Norton,etc)

I uncheck "lock toolbar" and then hide all the xtra garbage then click "lock toolbar" again.

Then i open a new tab OR close it all together and restart it and ALL THE TOOLBARS ARE BACK!! (My customization didnt hold) I have tried it 3 times aleady......

What a piece of crap...... (Im surprised the PHISHING FILTER remains disabled)

Internet Explorer 7 works excellent and is a much-needed upgrade to the IE 6 series. In particular, tabbed browsing is nice, its performance is good, and it actually looks half-decent. The fact that you had so many problems with it is probably because a) you don't know how to use it and/or b) your computer is crap. Version 8 is supposedly standards-compliant, which is good news for the majority of us who like Microsoft's web browser. Of course, I still prefer Mozilla due to the additional features it provides, but it's getting closer now.

In IE7 Click Tools > Internet Options > Programs tab > click Manage Add-ons.

In the Manage Add-Ons window, look through the list for (all instances) of the toolbars that you want removed and click Disable.

You can always put these back later if needed.

I stoped using IE like 3 years ago. Just recently because of university project I been forced to use it. Main reason is that there is better support for xForms (new standard for online form validation & submition), then firefox. However using IE7 is not exactly joy, often I get message for debuging after which all opened IE windows are close and I loose all pages containing relevant info on whatever I was working on. Also IE complains a lot about website plugins if they are not setup certain way, which does not happens with firefox.

Once this project is done I will remove IE from my pc.
