IE7 Browser

Just upgraded to ie7 and so far so good except I do not have a mail icon to click on to get my email. I have to run Outlook to get email. The other drawback is the ie7 is a beta and a lot of programs will not work with it as it has not been released yet like Norton Antispam. Other than that it seems to fix the problem with ie6.02 I had when after going to a few web site pages a pop-up would come up and say 'No Internet Connection'. I am on Cable Modem so the internet connection is always there..

it will be kind of interesting if we compared the responses in this poll to the actual webserver logs that capture what browser people are using. I posted this on one of my pages once and over half of the peopel claiming firefox were actually using ie at the time they posted their response.


personally im on IE7 and its fairly good. I have the others loaded on my computer just to check compatability with sites when I am writing them.

I've use Firefox for some time and, as mentioned, it is great for keeping spyware and pop-ups down. Of course, as it gets more popular the bad guys are finding ways around it and I get pop-ups from time to time. Still nothing like it would be with IE.

For those of you who have trouble with Firefox on certain sites, go download the IE Tab extension. It is great! My bank site never worked well with Firefox and the IE Tab fixed the problem.

I also have IE7 just for kicks although I hardly ever use it. They have gone a long way to make IE7 look and work more like Firefox.

That is strange, huh? I wonder what someone would gain by saying they use Firefox when they are really using IE. It doesn't make much sense.

BTW, for those that said IE came with the computer and is free... Firefox is free too.

Get Firefox! It's FREE!

Netscape 7.02 on my 6 year old Mac....

Actually since AOL bought Netscape (ages ago), i've been considering changing, but will have to wait until this ol'thang stops working. Can't cost justify spending the money on a new puter now. Still saving for mods.

Pop whats?

Using IE7, has it's good and bad, seems to have issues with some sites, but none with this site. IE7, Windows Defender, and a good antivirus/anti spam program, no problems at all. Put my mail program in task bar, or on desktop, not having any problem so far. Firefox also has issues with opening some sites, soo, I'd say what ever you are comfortable with. Used to use Netscape, but had too many problems opening sites with it too, a lot of sites use microft, soo, using IE is more universal to me.

Anyone using IE should at least try Firefox. It's a quick download and a great product an very easy to switch to. Like almost all web sites, this one works perfectly fine with Firefox.
