A public beta of the new Internet Explorer 7 has finally been released for download, but download with care; some people have reported issues with the new beta. But on the up side, it does encorporate popular features and technologies that make other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and Opera popular, including tabbed browsing, tab groups, and the like. The new browser even includes an anti-phishing toolbar that will keep tabs on the sites you’re looking at and make sure that when you’re logging in to your bank that it really is your bank. Definitely not for the faint of heart but definitely a step in the right direction for Microsoft’s IE team, the browser is an excellent step forward and we look forward to the polish and refining that it’ll go through before it’s final.
If you’re interested, head over and grab the beta today:
