I can easily reproduce scenarios that make IE7 crash. IE7 eats waaay more memory and cant handle it. I'm running current versions, side-by-side, aaand I have 30+ extensions loaded into FF (while no add-ons with IE7).
My most recently necessity has been to disabled Flash in IE7 because I can make it crash repeatedly when logged into Facebook. I can make this happen at work with XP and at home on Vista. Since there is very little tab-recovery support in IE7, it is currently at the bottom of my annoyances bin. I cant work with it for any information I need to retain. It simply cant be trusted. -- ME2 On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 2:24 PM, Steven Peck <sep...@gmail.com> wrote: > What kind of weird sites are you people going to? > > I have zero issues with IE7 standard.
