Anyone Upgraded to Explorer 7.0?

[William33 110]

Well, I finally did the upgrade.

Pro’s: All "graphics" have a clarity that I have not seen before.

Still evaluating.

Con’s: The toolbar arrangement is completely different. I am starting to get acclimated, but I still have unanswered questions. Such as, where is the “edit” option”. e.g. edit, select all, and so forth.

Your thoughts?

I've had it about 6 weeks and I like it, but the tab system did take gettign used to. I don't know about the edit feature. I guess I never use it.

Internet Explorer 7 allows you to view multiple websites in one window at once. I wish this feature will be integrated into Firefox. My default browser is Firefox.

I don't like IE due to the fact that they like to monopolize on features, and services which jack up the prices on their goods and services.

I had it, but went back to the old version because it removed my cookie folder. I just wanted to be able to pick which cookies I wanted to keep and which ones to delete. It seems the new version didnt give me that option unless I wanted to go through a lot of rhetoric .

Interesting. I dump all cookies regularly, as I don't want anyone following my activity.

Not that I visit risqué sites, I just don't like the notion of some unknown entity "spying" on me and collecting further information that can be sold.

Is anyone tired of their personal information being sold, for which you receive zero dollars? I am!

All Americans are the target of information gathering. Protect yourself, by limiting the release of any personal information.

Yes, I worked the paranoid Government for a long time, yet we should all be concerned about unsolicited monitoring; as this is counterproductive activity, in a free society.

I did something to IE 6.0 on an older pc yesterday that brought up a toolbar that allows for using multiple tabs.

I hate 7.0!!! It did slow down opening windows for new browsing... and after a couple weeks it crashed my windows! Apparently, this is rare Microsoft said they are still working out "quirks". Ya thanks for the quirks that killed my computer

I felt the same. wayyyyy too lagged.

Still doesn't beat Firefox.

ditto - i have a shorcut to the cookie folder and manually delete them about every 30 min max. i hate tracking cookies.

Uses less system resources by keeping IE in one 'session' rather than opening a new session w/each 'window' which is nice.

(Can open new tabs by right-clicking and Open in New Tab.)

Be sure to set your 'blank tab' to something you like (for me at least) since it gets annoying to see a blank one.

Cookies are there (as incorrectly stated above) C:\Documents and Settings\XYZUserName\Cookies is hidden by default I believe, but there nonetheless.

Has some interesting phishing features and pop-up blocker that works - but I never put too much stock in these gimic items.

You have to get used to the new/missing 'buttons' but it's not too bad.

I'd give it a "B" and best version yet.

Hmm, I wonder if this is what happened to my laptop?

Umm, kinda computer dumb here. . . how do you delete the cookies? I see them in the privacy report, but how do you delete them from here?

Are you using MS Explorer 7.0? If so, go to the right side of the toolbar. Select "tools". Then "Internet options".

When that window opens, you can see "browsing options", which will offer a delete option for: Cookies, Temporary Internet Files, web information and passwords.

If you want good security, select delete.

Thanks, should I be deleting the files in theTemporary internet files (and all off like content stored locally) as well as the cookie files?
