Why do they force you to use refresh/stop buttons on right side of IE?

    Seriously, that has to be the dumbest thing in the world... I cannot be the only person who absolutely HATES how the latest Internet Explorers moved the Refresh and Stop buttons on the right side of the address bar that cannot be moved. Every single browser since 1995 have always kept all of the buttons to the left so I can click on the buttons without even looking that is how well I am used to it. IE moving them to the right to cause me to have to drag my mouse left and right all day is just beyond stupid. WTF are they thinking? I would like to use the newer IE but I will never do so if they make it so you cannot move those buttons to the standard format. That is like your favorite car company switching the brake and gas pedals around in newer models, beyond stupid. I wish I could speak directly to the idiot who decided to do that. I keep checking out the latest versions to see if they give you the option to use the standard format but they do not offer it.

    I even tried contacting their support to hopefully have someone listen to my suggestion. I am sure someone will post "just use FireFox" but I do not like FF for many reasons. The only thing I do not like about IE is how they switched those buttons around. I would love Chrome but it has no popup blockers or support Roboform and Google toolbar options.

    My memory reminds me of the big refresh button that was near about the center of the screen... however, i moved to pressing F5 since i use the keyboard more than my mouse....

    may be you can try hitting escape instead of clicking on Stop button and hitting F5 for refresh and forget about the button positions. :)
