What are the new features in Internet Explorer 7?
Return to: ISTS FAQ Home > Applications > Ie7
Some of the new features in Internet Explorer 7 are:
Tabbed Browsing
- You can now elect to click any link and 'open in new Tab'. This will
open the link in a separate tab, but the current web page will remain
active. This will make opening multiple search results faster and the
pages will be kept together making it easier to keep track of. It
will also prompt you to close all tabs when you close the internet
window.
Choose your own web search engine
- Your favourite search engine can now be entered into a search box
within the toolbar, eliminating the clutter of separate toolbars. You
can easily choose a provider from the dropdown list or add more
providers.
RSS feeds
- Automatically detects RSS feeds (Really Simple Syndication) on sites by illuminating an icon on
the toolbar. This allows you to preview and optionally subscribe to a
site's RSS feed, and then be automatically notified as content is
updated.
Better Security
- Enhanced awareness of website security and privacy settings by
displaying
color-coded notifications next to the address bar.
- New anti-phising security which proactively warns and helps protect
you against potential or
known fraudulent sites and blocks the site if appropriate.
- Allows you to clean up cached pages, passwords, form data, cookies,
and history,
all from a single window
- Every window, whether it's a pop-up or standard window, will present
an address bar to the user,
helping to block malicious sites from emulating trusted sites.
- To help protect you from browsing with unsafe settings, Internet
Explorer 7 warns you with an
Information Bar when current security settings may put you at risk.
