Hello people! This Active Scripting is a major Faux Pas & being
required to add sites to the Trusted Sites is utter crapola. If MSFT
doesn't fix this very soon it'll do quite a bit to drive people away from IE.
Heck one has to add Microsoft & Windows Update sites to the Trusted
Sites list in order for them to work. At least IE 7 has "Add to
Trusted Zone" on it's Tools menu but how many peeps are going to do
this then forget to Refresh the page then cry it's still not working.
What about the peeps still running IE 6.x ? It's a pain to add sites
to the Trusted Sites list being that it's several layers deep then
they still have to refresh the page.
Now every site that uses ANY scripting is going to have "Please add
my site to your Trusted Sites" some where on the page ? My own
personal website uses tons of scripting but no ActiveX just
JavaScript yet it barely runs at all if I turn Active Scripting
off. So now I have to ask people to please trust me. NOT. OBTW this
problem does NOT exist for Firefox & you can test it for yourself at
<http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_Arbitrary_Content_Disclosure_Vulnerability_Test/>
then you'll get "Your browser does not appear to vulnerable to this
particular exploit." as opposed to "Your browser is vulnerable! "
that you get if you don't disable Active Scripting in any version of IE.
I was running IE 7 RC1 with Maxthon [MyIE2] over the top & had no
real problems but now that I have IE 7 Final & am running Maxthon
1.5.8 I keep losing the address bar. If I unlock the Toolbars I can
find it but I'm getting tired of having to find it every few minutes.
Hopefully Maxthon can fix this but it's all beside the point if the
Active Scripting thing isn't fixed & soon.
While I wasn't excited about Firefox I'm getting so that I use that
more & more often. I use to use IE for everything but I can't say
that any more & after this I'll probably only use IE to access
Microsoft Update & even then I can use Autopatcher instead.
If Vista is as screwed up as this mess is then I'd cash out all my
MSFT stock if I were you.
I'm not a little POed that MS could let this active scripting problem loose.
I've just switched to FF and find it fine ATM with faster scrolling
with the mouse wheel on big docs for a start. This may turn out to be
a permanent move.
