IE7

October 19th, 2006 by ailon

Just installed the final version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. The best part so far is that SPAW seems to work ok under it. Phew. This was a frequent nightmare lately: IE7 comes out and I have to write and maintain separate handlers for SPAW to work. But thanks god this is not the case.

In general it looks and feels ok. So far the most disappointing thing for me is absence of mouse gestures. By searching ieaddons.com I was able to find this plugin only and I don’t like what I see in comments.

I’m going to try using it as my default browser for some time. You can hate me all you want but I don’t like Firefox for some reason (actually the main reason is that I found out it sucks from the inside when making SPAW Gecko compatible) but I used it as my default browser for a couple of months since my beloved Maxthon showed no love for Google Notebook (or probably the other way around) and I wanted it badly at that time (not actually using it alot now)

P.S.: this post was made using IE7

    I have been using the RC and Beta candidates for a while, and no issues with Spaw (because of IE7).

    That’s good to hear. Because, even though I played around with it for a while, deep inside I was still afraid there’s something wrong that I didn’t see :)
