What’s up with Explorer 7?

First it was FireFox freezing all the time. So I switched to IE7. Now it’s refusing to load some pages, including my own here, throwing up "abort" messages. LGF says it’s somehow related to Sitemeter. Swell. Well, there’s always Safari, I guess. Or Opera, if push comes to shove. Could we please go back to Web 1.0? At least it worked, most of the time.

UPDATE:  Seems to be fixed. Except for visits to Sitemeter, itself.

Explorer 7 not so hot

I downloaded the new IE7 edition in hopes that it might be faster than Firefox. It is, somewhat, but has other quirks. For one thing the favorites can’t be easily loaded from Firefox, and the IE7 homepage is stuck and can’t be changed. I’ve tried every way I can think of. What a piece of sh***!

The Browser Den review is more complimentary but also discovers enough quirks to make switching back to it from Firefox not worth the trouble.
