Do you use Internet Explorer 7 ??

enosh · 03-11-2009, 12:30 PM

Interested to know how many people use IE7?

Looks like readability is very good in IE7 and my favorite font arial appears crisp and clear?

Just curious to hear a feedback on this?

I only use it for testing website designs, I use firefox and chrome for everyday use.

I'm using IE8 now

...but only sparingly (when I need to test something or when Firefox doesn't like a website)

I primarily use Firefox though, mainly because it is a LOT faster than IE

I was just thinking of this. I have not use IE in a long while and use Firefox. I used IE yesterday and it it seems to work well. I just hate all the problems i use to have with spyware and other problems in IE. Everytime i use it something goes wrong on my computer it seemed.

I use Firefox for 90% of the stuff I do. Some sites however wont let me access video streaming and such and for that I must use IE but I will say that all of my defaults and everything are pointing to Firefox

I have actually switched to Chrome for my main browser.

Firefox was just too slow for me, I dunno if it was because all my plugins or what but Chrome is just so much faster and takes up much less memory.

**MrKielington** · 04-20-2009, 05:54 PM

Chrome always crashed for me... maybe cuz I used earlier versions?

Might be, but I've had it installed since launch and didn't have any problems, didn't use it much till recently though.

That's pretty much how things are for me. The only times I use IE is when the site requires it or they have a code error and I can't use use FF. I've noticed that IE will allow code errors and correct them to a degree especially with Ebay listings. people are always screwing up code on those. They all need to use programs like Notepad++ that would help a lot of them to not make so many errors! Forgetting a quotation mark after something can really really screw up a page!

I've been considering this but I'm a little uneasy about switching from FF, I really like most google products but then again I know all the little things about FF and now I'd have to learn them all over again for Chrome. Not sure if I want to do that.

One thing I'm not completely comfortable about with Chrome is the fact that it phones home. I was in the private/testvb install of one of the forums I am staff at, and a googlebot found it.
