Bothering with IE7

Discussion in 'Bing' started by Mary William, May 7, 2010.

    I am a follower of IE , I started to use it when join in internet. I really prefer it all the time.

    However, recently I download one new IE7, I was really bothering with it. It always disappeared when I browsing the webpage, it happened all in a sudden. That's really hurt me. More and more times happened on my IE7, what is wrong with it?

    Is IE becoming worse and worse? I really do not want to chage to use firefox, Maxton or any other Browser, I am already familar with IE. Is there any good suggestions?

    IE 7 is a well known for crappy IE ever made. I would recommend to try IE 8 or IE 9 beta instead.

    Internet Explorer 8: Home page

    Internet Explorer 9: Platform Demos

    New version of IE is not too worse. some inconvenience comes when you browse something new.
    Well the other option for you is use Firefox. it is also a best option for you.

    No one should EVER use ANY version of IE! Not only is it the most insecure browser in the world, it's also technically inept, 12 years behind all other browsers in modern standards and compliance and it holds back the web from moving forward! Even Microsoft shows on their IEBlog it is slower and behind all other browsers in technical details.

    Do NOT use IE and save the web! Use ANY other browser and you'll see the wonderful things you are missing and make a web developer's job easier.

    Just forget about IE (you are losing a lot of good features of websites when use it, such as CSS 3) and intall firefox 3.6 and you'll forget any troubles with your browser, there is a bunch of convenient addons for it, but if you want something faster - try chrome.

    That's how Microsoft sucks you in.
    On your new browser, there is a way to set preferences, typically under "Tools->Options" at the top of your browser. There you can set a checkbox to make your new browser the default.

    IE7 is very worst than other version. I have earlier used it for sometimes and stopped. Now I'm using Firefox. Its better for my SEO.

    You probably have some kind of tool bar installed that is causing the browser to crash - remove all of your tool bars. If you have alexa installed, be sure to remove it as well.

    Then do a malware scan of your system. I recommend you go to download.com and use malware bytes.

    Between removing the tool bars, and removing malware/spyware, ie 7 should be a lot more stable.

    FireFox is just as easy to use as IE (easier IMO), so why don't you just get it? 15min to install
