IE7 or FF?

[PUTALE]

with the beta release of IE 7, I wonder how many of you guys are using it and what do you guys think it compare to the FF? Do you recommend install it?

[werty316]

IE??? whats that??? jk ever since I started to use FF last year IE is just a memory for me and any new version probably won't sway me back to Micro$oft.

I will have to go with FF by all means.
It outclasses the IE in all aspects.

- FF is indeed faster by far, you can actually feel it while surfing the net

- Tab Browsing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Has a great Download Manager which simplifies the downloading mess

- It just kills Popups thoroughly which is very important nowadays

- Has an Integrated Search Engine which is a very nice and useful feature (when google is down ;))

- Better Security, indeed an important subject!

and much more...

A very good read regarding the subject:

P.S
Here are IE7 features, looks like IE7 is new and improved.

Still, I go with FF with no doubt at all

yep. Well the IE7 looks quite promising. I think it will allow MS to catch up with current version of FF. Of course by the time IE7 is released, newer FF will be out with more feature:).

STill FF until IE7 is not beta and can be tested without problems.

Agree. IE7 has nothing to offer me that will make me want to change from stable, reliable, fast and versatile FF. 8)

it's true that it seems like FF is getting much better and I think a lot mroe sites are started to work with FF(which was a huge plus. I didn't use that much FF in the beginnign because there are sites that just didn't work fine but now seems like most sites do work fine with FF).

Still running IE7 and I'm happy with it so far, no real problems to speak of.............. :D I haven't used FF in years, I got diaappointed with it a long time ago and never went back.

I mostly use FF and Opera. been trying IE7, some things I like, their newsfeed idea seems to be good, just having problems getting it to update properly. I find Opera's pop blocker better than FF. Opera has paste and go which I love, and, hehe, I can hide it when necessary. FF had a add on for that, but still not compatible, probably the best thing I like about FF is the way you can organize bookmarks much much easier.

Since FireFox came out, I mut admit that I'm not even thinking of going back to IE, unless IE7 will be drastically changed. I also considred to use Opera after trying it for a while, but finally gave up and kept using FF. So...I vote for FireFox. "Forever"? who knows? Let's say "for the meantime..." :wink:

[PUTALE]

from what I have seen IE7 has not done any dramatically changes except it adds features that are lacking in IE6, such as tab browsing, print preview, RSS, etc. Basically IE 7 is an update version of IE that includes features found in otehr browsers.

[Bio-Hazard]

Lots of security fixes in IE7, or so they say. I like it much better than IE6 or FF for that matter.

Firefox is still the best in world of internet browsers, IE can't be and never will be so good as firefox (or opera).
