Internet Explorer 7 - First Impressions

I finally got bold enough to intstall IE7 Beta 1.

My first impression: so-so.

What I like about it:

  • Tabbed navigation.
    It's nice, and doesn't jam my taskbar with new windows.
  • Phishing Filter
    It's always good to try to improve security on the web.
  • PNG Support
    No need to hack CSS and use behaviors.
What I didn't like:
  • Some toolbars are always locked no matter what.
    In special the Address Bar and the Tab Row
  • Phishing Filter
    Sometimes it slows down navigation a little bit, specially for new sites.
  • Personalized Favorites Menu is gone.
    My Favorites has several entries but with the Personalized Menu it showed only the most used ones. Now it's gone, although the option is still in the Internet Options.
But it's still beta, so let's wait to see what the full release wil bring us.
