IE7... feels different

  • Article

I like IE7. A few days ago, being too brave maybe as usual, I decided to instal it on my dev box and in a few days I succeeded to develop dangerous addictions for several things. First, on tabbed browsing (pretty fast given that each IE window is a separate process - and opening a new tab is instantaneous). Second, I started to use Integrated search more and more.

I can't explain why I become addicted now on these features. After all, they were present in the MSN toolbar also. But I guess the speed matters. When a new tab opens in 0.1 seconds (as opposed in 0.8 seconds) then you get a different "feeling" on how things work.

Anyway - one thing is sure. I can't go back to IE6... :-)

    When you create a tab, IE7 doesn't create new process.

    Yep, maybe you should try Maxthon for IE(http://www.maxthon.com/) it has tabs and mouse gestures and integrated searching... Can't live without it ;-)

    Yes, it couldn't possibly be that he actually likes the product. It's clearly cheap marketing. Sheesh, don't people have better things to do than troll on blogs?

    Binarycloud: Maxthon is pretty nice; the IE blog has praised it a few times, and before IE7, I swore by it. Still has advantages, but then again, IE7 is an early beta targeting platform developers.
