Internet Explorer 7, aka Firefox

This is a good review with some nice screenshots of the recent beta release of IE7.

They've blatantly copied firefox on most things, but I'm not complaining, as that can only be a good thing

IE7!
Firefox without the added safety!

I like the idea of phishing detection, if itworks properly. Not quite sure why they decided to have the menu underneath the tabs though- kind of disassosiates the tab from its page. Shame PNG support is still a bit of a blind spot for them

PNG's work now, but just not very well at the moment.

I'll be amazed if they don't manage to get it sorted though for the release

Me too. I wouldn't be even tempted until this extension came as standard.

Am I alone, or does this make anyone else think of an excited puppy that's about to crap all over your carpet? (or, in this case, your website)

I already have that icon on my XP machine at work.

That's because I have this universal shellpack
