IE7 screwed up thier interface by locking the nav bar on top instead of the file menu. Also in IE7, they lost me totally when they locked the refresh button on the right side of the address bar. I did not know I even used it till I had to search for it. I only use IE for web development now. Firefox rules and would totally rule if they can get the memory hogging fixed.Legacy Userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08443441279366545538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-1157046522047449672006-08-31T10:48:00.000-07:002006-08-31T10:48:00.000-07:00Interesting to see that it does look a lot like IE...Interesting to see that it does look a lot like IE7 RC1, I hope it is more stable and compatible though. IE7 is sorely lacking in a lot of compatibility issues. <BR/><BR/>My vote, less security, more functionality. Especially for programmers and web designers.

It may seem "over the top" at first, but after using it for a white, it really grows on you!<BR/><BR/>I don't like that the new firefox theme's home button, especially, is lacking in color and prominence.<BR/><BR/>The link to the page of Noia 2.0 eXtreme (firefox 2.0 beta version) is here ==> www.deviantart.com/deviation/4266778<BR/><BR/>Just click download on the left side of the page and drag the .jar file into the themes window to install.<BR/><BR/>Try it!
