Loading ...Ok. I never thought this day will come, but since I wrote about Internet Explorer 7 optimized for Yahoo, Google has issued his own version of Internet Explorer 7 optimized for Google:
Optimized for Google with:
Google homepage you can personalize
Google Toolbar
Google Search as your default
When will the pain end ?
Later edit: Apparently, Jeremy noticed that Google’s Internet Explorer 7 optimized page was designed in a copy/paste manner with Yahoo’s previous one. Google has now changed the page to look different then Yahoo’s.

They should promote Firefox better, instead of IE :(
I am frustrated with my access to my Favorites list-I keep getting a pop-up window stating that I do not have access.
Is this because that the Internet Explorer-7 has not been optimized for Google’s access.
I’m wondering why they support Firefox (adsense refferals and also slim banners on home page - checcout google) and in the same time they release IE optimized for Google. Thats shame! Internet is too cool for IE!
The majority of users still use IE and don’t have any intention of switching, so Google aren’t just going to ignore them.
You are so right Dan. Even on this blog, out of aprox. 30.000 uniques/month, more then 40% still use IE.
And a website can’t get more “technical” than mine.
I think the biggest problem is knowledge - most of the users (as you said 40%) even don’t know there could be alternative browser. They just got their paid windows version with all the software in it. Even worst - they think the blue icon with E is the only gateway to internet.. So spread the word! :)
I’m using firefox.. and i will never get back to internet explorer…
I think 40% of users viewing your website with IE is not a bad percent.
Why are you still using IE? Firefox and Opera are more secure and light.
