Google and Web.de Release Customized IE7

There is a nice behavior that other browsers have, when you have a hyperlink with an href of "" (blank), that I think IE should mimic.

In other browsers, it serves as a direct link back to the same page. The great thing about it, is that the developer need not know, or care, what the current page is, the browser just returns to the same page.

In IE, it seems to redirect to the current page's "root" directory. Which, on mis-configured systems, exposes a directory listing, or some other sort of error.

Likewise, if the ability to request a directory listing is desired, the old "host:port/path/subpath/?" still works, and is generally recommended.

thanks

using Microsoft version IE 7.

IE 7 Memory usage very high when using IE 7 for 1-2 hours. I might be the phishing filter protection that is causing this to happen.

The IE 7 may be stupendous , but it is making it impossible to use my HPDirector for scanning without some modification.

I HATE IE7 and would love to get rid of it. Very "unfriendly" -- I want my old browser back.

@flycover: re:ie7pro

Your mini feature list sounds interesting, but your site does not provide any screenshots, or detailed info on what is in your extension.

What is "super" drag n drop? does this allow me to drag tabs from one window to another?

Does the close tab feature allow me to close the first tab?

Details please. These days, without some details as to what the product actually does, there is a real confidence issue in installing extensions on IE. we've been burned before.

Automatic Updates (AU) YET AGAIN!! is still changing default email client.

This is not funny anymore.

Talk to your Outlook/Express Team, and get them to fix their code ASAP!

Google is a hype — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 09:31:30 GMT

I don't get this?

Whey would IE GPM promote version of IE that would promote Google search and everything google?

It is like handing over market share to google from Live which inspite of all its prowress is having a hard time disloding loyal googlers?

Am I missing somethings here?
