Microsoft's next version of its browser, Internet Explorer 7, will make it easier for people to keep automatically aware of website updates.

IE7 will have an orange button on the toolbar which will light up when it detects a Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed on a site. Users can click on a "plus" button to subscribe to the site's feed, as they would with a bookmark. The new browser is due to be released this summer. It had its public debut at the Gnomedex technology conference in the US city of Seattle on Friday.

awesome for IE7 having RSS feeds!!

uh Safari here has RSS exactly like that.

sure RSS technology is independent from the OS or the browser type, lets wish we see alot of new web technologies in browsers.

microsoft is actually adding features we want to it. amazing!

IE7 will hopefully be awesome
And if it doesnt have that Cache issue with ieXbeta and other Message boards, Out the door goes Firefox

I'll still be using firefox when ie7 comes out

#1 = FireFox
#2 = IE7

I'm just waiting for FF1.1 to come out, then IE will be back down the drain

So when can we get some screenies of this new browser? I've been wondering if there are changes to the look.

Once IE gets tabbed browsing and RSS support, I'll have no use for FireFox. It has a lot of bugs and doesn't display many sites correctly. I can't wait to kick it off my computer and get back to IE.

its funny how everyone hated IE untill the news of IE7... ive never really been a big fan of FF but just use it because it IS the best. IE7 will be soo much easier because of windows and we wont get things opening up in two different browsers all the time.

Even if IE7 isnt as good as FF it will still be a big step in browser softwear. IE is currently only so shit because when it was made there was no competition, there was no need to be good and people would of still used it.

Im going right back to IE as soon as it has a Gmail plugin - and if it has a plugin system, im sure wont be long

Gmail Notifier

I'll still use FF only because when there's a bug, it is usually faster to be fixed then in IE. Plus it isn't as bloated as IE, thus it loads pages faster. And I can mod the browser so that it loads even faster.

Why is everyone suddenly raring to jump onto the IE7 ship? Firefox only renders pages improperly because web "masters" can't code complying to standards ( I wan't to throttle the bastards who put "Designed to be viewed in Internet Explorer" ). Firefox is a really nice browser, and the only complaint i have with it is that over a long period of time it begins to bloat (It's quite light when it first starts, but gets bigger over time).

Hehe:

sounds great.....and if in adittion we could go trough each tab with "Alt +Tab" would be really fantastic.

Alt+Tab probably wont be available as its for switching from Window to Window. Maybe MS will make some other shortcut.

Ctrl+Tab maybe?

Alt+~ would be perfect, actually.

Quactar, that's a good argument for a person who only USES a browser, but the guy who sits beside me who does web development HATES FF. It has a lot of rendering bugs that make development take a lot longer, and he DOES follow the standards. He'll write a site, it'll render just fine in IE, but the tables will be totally hosed in FF and expecially Safari - and vice-versa when he tried to develop for FF first. So he has to go back and tweak back and forth between all three for a few hours to get them all identical. In the end, FF is really no better for actual site deployment than any other browser - NONE of the browsers out there render fully to standards.
