I'm pretty disappointed with beta 1. I hope beta 2 addresses some of my
gripes. Here's my list:
1. I've always used the Links bar as a full toolbar spanning the width
of the browser window. In IE7, the Links buttons are unnecessarily
wide, and now more than half of my buttons have become overflow
accessible via a chevron. Ah, wait, I just found that if I can make
everything fit, it changes everything. (See associated screenshots in
.binaries)
2. The "bonk" when I type a search term into the search box and press
enter is annoying. Reminds me of the tools who don't have a <input
type="submit"> and use form.submit() when the user presses enter in a
web form instead.
3. The toolbars being underneath the tabs seems kinda wrong.
4. Why is the navigation bar seemingly part of the title bar instead of
just being a normal toolbar? (Right click on it, and it's the same as
right-clicking the title bar.)
5. The address bar is completely fixed?
6. While I usually hid these buttons anyway, where are the Home,
History, Favorites, etc. buttons that used to exist?
7. Still wishing I could use the explorer bar on the right side of the
browser instead of the left. It looks like I'll continue not to use any
sort of explorer bar.
8. "Delete Browsing History..." is a nice thing, I suppose, but if I
were to decide to clear my history, why would that include saved form
data?! (I use Roboform, so it doesn't matter ~to me~.)
9. Still can't maximize the "Organize Favorites" dialog. I'll still be
going out to Windows Explorer for that. I'd imagine the rookie computer
user isn't aware that he can do that, and is stuck in that dialog if he
wants to organize his favorites. :[
