Example: I am talking about having 50+ tabs open at the same time...
a limited number of tabs of stupid ie7 can only fit in one line, after that
in order to access, them you either have to use the drop down menu, or the
quicktabs. Both of these solutions are silly to the real power surfer. I
mean with IE7 you cane even use the scroll wheel to flip through the
tabs.... PATHETIC!
To make things even WORSE with the CRAP IE7 interface, the tab bar has been
infested with other icons
for favorites, rss, tools etc... Some you can hide ok.. but the fav icons
not..
AvantBrowser (avantbrowser.com) (a trident browser shell) Maxthon, and
FireFox with the TAB MIX add on can have multiple layers of tabs (lines of
tabs).
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122, giving you a
huge number of tabs and visible tab buttons, the number of these limited
only to how much RAM you have and screen real estate. With screens like 30
inch LCD,
you can imagine that you can accelerate searching viewing of information a
great deal than having only one line of tabs.. YUCK!!!
I have yet to find an extension that will allow IE7 to have multiple tabs
with its current interface.
Also you would need total control over flash, scripts etc so you can control
how much cpu all these pages will use..
Although there is an add-on for IE7 called IEpro that does add some
functionality,
you cannot compare this to the wealth of built in features that AvantBrowser
has, or the immense extendibility with firefox+add ons.
There are tens of little things IE7 just cant do, or there is no extension
to enable IE to do it.. sorry.. if you
are satisfied with IE, you cannot be a power user!
I mean with firefox + add ons you can do almost ANYTHING imaginable with the
browser! I mean the flexibility of IE7 compared to FF is 1 to 10.000 lol.
