Microsoft's Internet Explorer 7 Adds Useful Features

 

A Better Browser

Microsoft overhauled its Internet Explorer browser, borrowing heavily from features first introduced in the Firefox Browser.  Now included are

bullet

Popup Blocking:   Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with IE7’s built in popup blocker.

bullet

Tabbed Browsing View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they’re ready for viewing when you’re ready to read them.

bullet

Security               Built with your security in mind, IE7 helps protect your computer from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.

bullet

Smarter Search    Search is built right into the toolbar, and there is a plethora of search sites that can be added to the tool bar.  

bullet

Live Bookmarks   RSS integration lets you read the latest news headlines and read updates to your favorite sites that are syndicated.

Conclusion

The IE7 browser is a big step forward.  While Firefox users may still prefer the features in Firefox,  IE7 is now comparable in most respects and removes much of the reason to switch.  While it doesn't leap-frog over Firefox, it has at least achieved relative parity, and is generally more compatible with most websites.

Download

Windows users with auto update turned on will automatically receive the upgrade to IE7.  One can also download it directly from Microsoft here.
