Remember it is a BETA, so its not going to be as stable as the final release.

so i take no responsibility for anything going wrong with your computer if you download this.

i dont have it myself since i dont use IE, but it would be cool if someone who downloads it could let us know what its like.

oh and you will probably need winrar to open the file.

K I got it installed. It has tabbed browsing and also a tool to check everypage you visit for phishing. Will report back later after I use it more.

I'm using it... but theres a couple things I don't like

Can't double-click to close a tab..

And it moved my toolbars all around, and I can't fix it.. even if they're unlocked

theysayjump

29-07-2005 17:27:39

try using the scroll wheel to close the tabs, like in firefox.

might not work but its worth a try no?

CollidgeGraduit

29-07-2005 17:50:48

That works... now to fix the other problem

Collateral

I unlocked my toolbar and the buttons moved fine. Also, yah clickwheel will close the tabs. Thing that sucks is microsoft won't allow you to download window updates with it.

did you try the tweak i posted?

further down the page. have a look, it should work.

Is there a way to put the menu bar at the top, the URL below that, and the tabs below that?

Firefox is still better with all of it's plugins and all.

Anything open source or at least capable of taking in open source addons will always be better than what microsoft can put out. Too many good coders out there for them to even have a chance to compete w/ the likes of a firefox and all of its plugins.
