  • kevinneill, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8Beta 1 was 1000 times better than Fire Fox, none of the memory problems and my favorites never locked up. Beta 2 has more features and looks even sweeter I hope it runs as well as Beta 1.
  • playerx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Hope it has decent css support, that's all i care.
  • SniperGX1, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1IE is still around?
  • zweben, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"Hope it has decent css support, that's all i care."

    Same here. It would be a godsend to all web developers if it actually did.

    But I really doubt it will.
  • laptopmafia, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1What's IE?
  • jason7655, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Here's your CSS questions answered...partially

  • br0ken1128, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0When I .. er.. someone.. tried the leaked Beta 2, it was all sorts of screwed up, it would randomly render pages funky. Entire sections of a site would be missing, you could then hit refresh and the page would render correctly, sometimes you'd have to refresh the page 5 or 6 times.

    Another weird glitch was that some images would be distorted, I don't mean distorted as in blurry, I mean distorted as in glitched up, and this problem didn't go away no matter how many times I refreshed..

    I.. er.. he eventually just uninstalled beta 2, which fortunately worked fine..

    I'm not going to bother with this public beta 2 unless I hear some positive feedback, it still fails the ACID 2 test.
  • uptown, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Can you run IE6 and IE7 on the same machine?
  • LazyBoy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0last time i tried it install it on the jank leaked version a week or to back it really messed up my system... but alas ill still install it again lol.
  • gookie, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2This will hurt FIREFOX so baaad....it is now more difficult to convince not so tech savvy people to switch...since, basically, IE and FIREFOX is almost identical (at first look).

    Bad, bad, bad...
  • abbott75, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This better be pretty good if its gonna convert me back!
  • dillacom, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0damn this browser sucks, downloaded it this morning and I think I would rather use the AOL browser lol
  • DonLapre, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1NO UNINSTALL and a ***** interface.
  • HiddenS3crets, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Why are people digging this? IE users perhaps?
  • dillacom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2and no it takes over ie6
  • br0ken1128, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6YES THERE IS AN UNINSTALL... Before that rumor gets out of hand..

    However.. it's not shown by default, in "Add/Remove programs" check the box "show updates" and it will appear in the list :)
  • NeilM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It's news. That is why we're digging it.
  • gookie, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Oh crap...it requires Genuine ***** validation.
  • moracity, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0blah. too little, too late.
  • SniperGX1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0firefox is better for being cross platform, on my mac laptop, linux workstations, or windows box it works great
  • br0ken1128, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10"Why are people digging this? IE users perhaps?"

    Because it's tech news that's important, just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others won't want to hear about it.

    I work in the tech industry, part of what I do is web design and support, I'm VERY interested in knowing what goes on in the browser world... DUGG
  • Erukian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Anyone else having a problem installing on win64 bit edition?
  • petknep, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There is an uninstall, you have to click the box that says "Show Updates" in Add/Remove Programs. The leaked version is not equal to the beta 2 preview.
  • abbott75, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0"Oh crap...it requires Genuine ***** validation." Tee Hee Hee :P
  • kismac, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0*cough* turn on the validation plugin in IE6 *cough*
  • chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0validation worked for me, and i don't even have... wait nevermind =P
  • inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Please... please... please for the love of god and everything holy... please tell me that somewhere in the bloated bowels of this new version of Explorer there is proper support for PNGs and alpha transparency that other browsers have had since the dark ages.

    I don't use Windows so would any of you care to confirm whether or not Explorer has caught up in terms of PNG support--specifically in terms of transparency?
  • br0ken1128, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3According to the official blog THEY CORRECTED THE ALPHA TRANSPARENCY IN PNG ;)
  • halc5s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Beta 2 PREVIEW, the real Beat 2 will be released in April
  • DCJoeDog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2*cough* turn on the validation plugin in IE6 *cough*

    Explain further, please
  • kenwestin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0any news on ways of installing this along side 6?
  • smedrick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I checked out the leaked beta 2 yesterday and from what I can tell so far, the CSS support is pretty damn good. Hell, all the websites I visited even looked better then they do on Firefox.
  • inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0> Hope it has decent css support, that's all i care.

    Criminy! No kidding! If you want to test it, try this on a page...

    test

    If it creates this crazy, giant border that goes way off your screen, then the CSS support still sucks.
  • tzmguitarist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1someone enlighten me - what is the validation ie6 plugin
  • Greattastic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0It better not be filled with security holes that it doesn't release patches for.
  • lordsandwich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Betas have previews now? Damn Google for diluting the term. :p
  • DCJoeDog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2but FF needs to fix it's memory leak problem and the FF folks have deemed to just ignore us, so ***** 'em I say
  • inkswamp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Darn it... Digg removes HTML tags? Why? The messages don't interpret them. Gah... anyway, try testing this in a div tag.

    style="width:150px;margin:10px;padding:10px;border: 1px solid black;"

    If it creates that giant border effect, then the CSS support didn't improve.
  • lsm2005, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Will it run in Wine?

    Crossover Linux?
  • kismac, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2when you go to the winblows update site go to "tools" then to "internet options" then to "programs" under programs go to "manage Add-Ins" and there in a plugin for the windows genuine crap... just disable it... microsoft built in the ability to turn it off... oops
  • skippy2057, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"Beta 1 was 1000 times better than Fire Fox"

    That's just silly. Anything worthwhile you may have to say after that just disappeared in a puff of hyperbole.
  • Hortnon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5"IE is still around? "

    Clever. Because 90% of the market means it's fading into obscurity.

    Dugg. Because I have used both IE and Firefox, and prefer IE.
    And because it's legitimate tech news. :P
  • Kellan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5"Please... please... please for the love of god and everything holy... please tell me that somewhere in the bloated bowels of this new version of Explorer there is proper support for PNGs and alpha transparency that other browsers have had since the dark ages."

    It isn't bloated. It uses less memory than IE6 in my experience.

    IE7 really rocks.
  • dynamx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0tell me how to get it running with my xp pro corporate 'suprnova.org' edition
  • b7j0c, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4i love these "kill ff" comments. after years of IE5/6 abusing your system, you somehow think IE is cool again? or is this just the pointless contrarianism rampant on any board?
  • Archangel621, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I don't like the interface.
  • jboi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Looks nice, no import bookmarks from firefox yet

    Thank u firefox for the browser innovations! :P
  • bertdevriese, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If you install it, it 'overwrites' IE6, but you can uninstall it by using the add/remove software item in the control panel (tick the "show updates" box to get it in the list)

    my first impressions is that it's not that good at css support... digg for example is not displayed better than firefox or opera. the acid2 test is also worse than firefox or opera, and the layout basicly sucks if you use the windows classic theme...

    but hey, cut ms some slack, for it is a beta...
  • automagically, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0MS read PIE! It's just cool that they are looking at actual sites that any CSS person would also goes to for help. And they are fixing the bugs found and posted on said site. Makes good sense.
