A recent third party release of “IE 7 Pro” (google it) has made using it more tolerable for me.

Thanks for the try, but it’s definitely not a fix. All it does is add the menus, doesn’t make the toolbar any more configurable, or any less monstrous. It’s been a while since I did this article, and in retrospect, IE7 was the best thing that happened to me as far as web browsing. I’ve switched entirely to Firefox and couldn’t be happier. I can’t imagine every going back, and the reports of IE8 make it sound like there will be no temptation at all to do so.

just so glad to know I am not alone in my inability to do anything with these space-hog toolbars. Didn’t like the tabs, and got rid of them, but still have this extra bar that will not combine with another on one line. On a laptop, that screen space is precious. BOOO, Microsoft. Time to explore Firefox…

I have always been using Firefox as my default Web Browser for years. But when you need to go to some MS support like windows update, support etc, I feel IE6/7 is still better (although Firefox already has IE Tab plug in itself). However, if you are using Windows OS (98, XP, Vista etc), you still need Its integrated built in apps like IE, WMP, etc because for some purposes, they can’t be replaced with other third parties even if they are not default. Yeah, I agree IE7 has dissapointed me and you. But for some purposes, we still need it. I am still waiting for IE8 (as Vista SP1 will have it next year, Good news it will be for both Vista and XP). i will give it a try …(pardon my english, i am from Indonesia). thank’s.

Jan 28, 2007, and still no customizable toolbars in IE7. I, too, am very disappointed.

Are they going to make the buttons’ positions more customizable? If we MUST have the integrated search, could they also add the additional functions provided on the 3rd party (google) toolbar.

Personaly I could care less about the tabs – two 20″ monitors – I’m not hurting for screen real estate.

IE7 is only good for one thing – for me to poop on.
