The Best Browser Ever!

how i can move tabs under the adress panel>

[internetexplorer]

@TheBomb0Cat Currently it's not possible to change tab location, but you can resize the URL window to make more room for your tabs. Hope this helps!

experienced ? what a load of shit lol

It seriously looks like its been built half arsed , the back button disappears behind the browser and the address bar is so tiny even a guy with 20/20 vision would need to magnify it , not to mention 3 tabs or more and you cant even read what those tabs are .. coupled with no support for your win 7 64 bit browsers in viewing adobe based websites .. IE9 Is pretty much an EPIC FAIL ! Literally , it fails .. all the time . Even Norton wont trust it lol

IE9 is undoubtedly a huge leap from its predecessors, at least in terms of speed. But, I honestly believe, this came out merely as a 'critical attempt for survival' against other competing browsers (i.e. the incredibly faster Chrome). Because, previous IEs were so horribly slow, they almost died out. However, to me, IE9 still does not catch up to Google Chrome. Though speedy, IE9 feels a little heavy and resource-needy, whereas Chrome is fast, light and instant (on my average pc).

@Andrew19ao Oh, that's a new feature, then? What else does IE do that nobody else does?

[Andrew19ao]

@ReverendNillerz A popup? No..just a message at the bottom that you can easily disable.

[Andrew19ao]

@ripcurlcns It is NOT and should NOT be Microsoft's job to make flash 64 bit.

The back button is always in the the top right corner. It is behind nothing.

The address bar is the same size as always. If you need a magnifying glass then you need glasses badly. The text is the same size as everything else in Windows. It can be enlarged obviously.

The tabs are just as wide as any other browser and can be put on a separate line.

[ReverendNillerz]

@Andrew19ao would I get a pop-up every time it wants to remember a password?

[Andrew19ao]

@ReverendNillerz IE is just as fast as any other browser, just as standard compliant, just as easy to use, just as nice looking. Yes, the only reason people don't use it is because they think IE means IE 6,7, or 8 which are all obsolete.

The tabs can be moved onto a speparate line, the address bar is the same size as it has always been.

[ReverendNillerz]

When will the new IE be available for Linux?

[ReverendNillerz]

@Andrew19ao no they don't, nobody actually uses IE.

[ReverendNillerz]

@internetexplorer Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari all have this functionality. It's p. ubiquitous.

[Andrew19ao]

@talldude123 But when people compare other browsers with IE, they usually go back to IE7.
