Actually, there are a lot of 'add-ons' available. Right now, most of the good ones you have to pay for. The code is out there for others to build their own add-ons.Originally posted by: secretanchitman
where are all the extensions for ie7?
oh wait, they're only built for firefox. my bad.
ff2 > ie7.
One of two things will happen.
#1 - People will build add-ons for IE7 and charge for them. FF extension builders will follow suit and all hell will break loose with the FF users.
or
#2 - People will build add-ons for IE7 for free and all will be right in the world.
Personally, I'm expecting #1 will happen but am hoping for #2.

How exactly is it a step down from IE6?
The only of those issues I've experienced is #3. Otherwise I agree with Amused and LikeLinus 100%.Originally posted by: GTaudiophile

1) It doesn't load all the pics on a site. Like if I load the YouTube homepage I get like 50% red-x boxes and 50% images.
2) It's locked up like 4 times in a week. Never happened with IE6.
3) If I click the "http" button in a "Reply to Topic" window on Anandtech, it gives a me a pop-up warning that I have tp right-click to accept. No option to leave okay all the time for this site.

I've installed IE 7 on over a dozen computers without a single problem. All are running quite smoothly.
But I am having trouble getting used to the buttons being in different places... I'll learn, though.
