I second Carl's plug for Maxthon, although I have only used it with IE6. Glad to hear it will be available to me for IE7 when/if I move on to it. In all the months I have been using Maxthon/IE6 I have only found a couple of sites that did not work as they should with the Maxthon "front end" but did when I changed to IE6 alone. Don't remember which sites they were now, and it was not a significant enough problem that I pursued it. Far fewer incompatibilities with Maxthon than FF, although I have also had few problems with FF.
A documented problem with IE6 which carries over to the Maxthon/IE6 combo (no surprise) is the failure of IE6 to "shrink to fit" web pages when printing, as FF does. This is particularly irritating when printing an order confirmation or online invoice and the right edge gets lopped off. IE6 has been around long enough (!!) so that many of the large online retailers offer a 'printable receipt/invoice" as a work-around, but it is still an irritant. Does anyone know whether IE7 corrects this? If so, I probably won't even keep FF on my machines any more; IE with Maxthon suits me better. Thanks for any info. For once I am in no rush to install the "latest and greatest."
