IE 6 or 7?

[abu_has_the_power]

Now windows update is like hey, you should update to IE7. i've been using ie6 this whole time

i don't really need the tabbed browsing thing. i have maxthon, and it's a million times better than any form of ie standalone.

should i update to ie7?

i heard the cookies are all bunched into 1 file now... how does that work? how would you be able to use something like cccleaner and look at which cookies you want to delete? :ermm:

I don't use IE much either but did the update for security reasons , your choice I guess .

It explains it a little better here :

Nice nuts by the way . :pinch:

yeah, not really helping u out or anything but i did the same as peat. i just updated to ie7 for security reasons and cuz i could. i never use ie at all. i only use firefox and if a page doesnt' render properly i just ietab so it does. nothing to add. just my $0.02.

Can one uninstall IE 7 , You know using System Restore or Add /Remove Wizard ? That would be my big concern if I used Microsoft's browser alot . Just a thought tho .

Sorry I meant revert back to IE 6 if you want . I learnt a long time ago not to fuck with peoples browsers, just give a choice and they'll decide .

I love tabbed browsing. I had some problems with IE7 crashingn'stuff until I used their XP pre-beta SP3. Go figure. :ermm:

If you're going with IE7 then http://www.ie7pro.com/ addon is a must.

That'll revert you back to IE6. If you try to uninstall IE6 (or the original M$ outlook) thru Windows Components it'll only pretend to. That's just weird, but true.

i think that IE7 is more compact than 6 and with a better interface. You chose what to use!

[ROFL-LOL]

Well, I user 7 more that 6, but mostly i use FF.

does anyone know about the ie7 cookies thing? does it actually consolidate all cookies into 1 file?

[jazzedup]

Can't MS leave a person alone? First it was Vista... Now its IE7.

They are trying to force people to use the new stuff. I'm sure one day they won't allow XP to access the internet. They'll tell you to use Vista... sheesh!

No, but there is always the Index.dat file for both IE6 n'7.

I installed IE7 for security reasons as well but I also use Maxtor (which uses IE's core to operate) and it ended up all messed up. The favorites got changed with out my consent and all kinds of other bugs. It pissed me off so I uninstalled IE7 and had to reinstall Maxtor and reaquire all my favorites by memory. This was early on so I don't know about the latest revision but I have been avoiding it like the plague. Its not just IE or Vista, Microsoft sucks so bad its ridiculous. They can't even make a decent running piece of software without it having thousands of security holes that need to be plugged over the years and then when they come up with a new piece of crap they stop supporting the old one so the hundreds of holes still left go unplugged, and you have to update to the new crappy software if you want to remain somewhat secure. They know exactly what their doing.

seems like i should just stick w/ ie6 and my good old maxthon, aka best browser ever

I use ccleaner on my wife's computer and it has IE 7 , cleans it just fine....I don't think you'll have any problems.

I don't know about the cookie thing ....
