IE 7

I got it yesterday in the Windows Update thing. Pretty good, I like it and yeah, like Carmo posted, you just press Alt and all the windows menus (File, Edit, View etc.) come up.

IE 6 does this too.

Yeah we weren't saying that IE6 didn't have it. Andrew just didn't think they had these menus. We were just explaining how to show them.

Yes Qballer, if you read most of the posts you would understand why I said that.

I'm back to IE 6 again. I think I'll wait for them to fix the bugs in 7 before I go through that again.

but I like my "tabs" at the bottom of the screen... leaves more screen space for the pages.

I can't stand having 4-5 browser windows open. The tabs feature is one of the best things to happen to web browsers, imo. Sure, it cuts a bit into screen space, but it's so frigging messy and crowded in the taskbar when I have other programs running other than an internet browser. I usually have 3-5 tabs open and with the feature of click-and-drag tabs, it's easy to organize. You can't do that with the taskbar.

I'll take Opera anyday, and I'll enthusiastically endorse Firefox when they stop it from ballooning to over 100 MB of memory usage when I open three tabs.

Exactly my thoughts... Firefox is the best browser but it uses a shit load of memory so Opera is my choice.

just curious, does anybosy know how to get IE 6 to open maximized by default? it's really annoying to have to maximize every window i open.

One of these should help...

I actually dont think IE7 is all too bad. The only reason I havent switched is because I already have all my bookmarks and crap in firefox.

If I remember correctly, it's in Properties.

Easy fix - if you want the File/Edit/etc. menus back just right click on the blank space to the right of the tabs and click Menu Bar.

Too easy. The rest of the layout could be better though, I'm not a huge fan of the position of all the buttons compared to IE6's layout.

Does anyone know which Browser uses up the least Downloads, cause it seems our old IE6 was using up a shit load, is IE7 any better?

How do you use up a download? Do you mean memory or something?

Download Limit, When i was using IE 6, just browsing sites without downloading files or anything, our download usage was high as!

I don't think the browser you're using matters in that situation, it depends on the sites you visit.

Am I glad I never had to deal with download limits. Really.

it must be some sort of bandwidth control from either you ISP or the sites you're visiting. Must be an Australian thing because I've never heard of ISPs limiting bandwidth here.

We're way behind in Australia as far as Internet service is concerned, mainly because Telstra isn't in too big a rush to make the necessary upgrades to the lines and exchanges outside the CBD in the major cities.

Can anyone tell me how to make it so when i right click on a link i can select 'open in new tab', instead of 'open in new window'. Our friends says that and it's much better, like that

EDIT: and like Cable i'm to to fond of the cleartype crap either, i went to that site to try and improve it, but not too good. Is their a way to completely turn it off?

If you're using FireFox or Opera. Alternatively you can do CTRL + T.

It's already posted in this thread.

I couldn't find a way to turn it off completely, so I went back to IE 6.

awhell it's not that bad, anyway i tried right clicking on a link today and suddenly it says 'open in new tab' ! Hooray
