toooo funny

Shame about all the paranoia and the bull around IE7. I would not use any of those add-on browsers and my surf speed is safe and very fast.

The add-on browsers, no matter what they tell you, are just an overlay. They cannot access the net without using IE and Windows core components so you are just booting a software title that is just as, if not more, exposed than IE Grin

I simply can not believe how people can easily be swayed to think they are more secure and faster

I tried it, but it has some problems displaying some of my bookmarked pages.

Plus, it has no FTP add-on.

the main reason i use FF is because of the tabbed browsing and when i had IE7 just crashed more often than FF did so im waiting for some updates then i probs will use IE

I haven't have IE7 crash on me, not once. Tabbed browsing is like Vista Aero, nice, but not necessary. It's overrated. I do like things like phishing filters though.

Tabbed browsing may be a feature some like... it does however eat memory. I shut that down on IE7 because I really have no use for the feature.

IE7 is not slower or less secure. If the TCP/IP stack is teaked for the ISP.. IE7 flys like a rocket on the net.

For my ISP I use a RWIN window of 256960 with Window Scaling enabled, an MTU of 1500 and a TTL of 64

MTU Discovery is enabled, Black Hole Detect disabled, Selective ACK's enabled and the Max Duplicate ACK's set to 2

I also increase:

"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000010
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000010

So I enable 10 requests per web page which significantly increases the number of connects IE has to bring in page data or download files. Some try 20 but sys admins are on to that trick now and set their servers so if they see too many connects, the server will throttle the user... keeping it at 10 (over the default of 1) keeps most servers from throttling.

Changing those values requires software such as: http://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

And I dont suggest anyone do that unless they know what they are doing. The RWIN, TTL needs to be adjusted based on the ISP and connection type. It is calculated based on the max latency (RTT) in combination with the line spped of a connection to test points around the world from the users location.

IE7 is safe, effective, stable and fast

If crashes are seen, there is something wrong with the OS or the IE7 install.
