Speaking of upgrading my browsers, on top of going to IE7, I’ve upgraded to Firefox 2.0 and Opera 9.0. All these are nice but I still like IE because most websites are designed for the masses who are still using IE. But I’ve been to a few of those not so well designed sites with endless popups and there’s that whole security thing. So I use Maxthon as my primary browser. It’s a browser written with IE rendering engine. It supports tabbed browsing, plugins, extensions, ad block, etc. And of course mouse gestures which I think works better than Opera’s implementation even if Opera invented gestures. There are gesture extensions for IE and Firefox but they don’t work as well as the browser natively supporting it.

Anyway, if you like IE and all those sites that still use ActiveX stuff, give Maxthon a whirl and find out IE isn’t all that bad.
