| The Bottom Line |
No new changes in this latest build of IE 7 from Microsoft, except for more stability and application compatibility, but this browser still is not ready for prime time.
|
IE 7 was Microsoft's one chance to leapfrog ahead of the competition, but the company has only barely caught sight of the current front-runners. For more features and greater security, switch to Mozilla Firefox.
|
If only for the speed, lightness of being, and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best Internet browser.
|
Microsoft has changed the look and feel of its venerable browser while adding some much-needed security features.
|
Microsoft's release should retain its browser base but doesn't yet have enough to lure loyal Firefox users back to Internet Explorer.
