Internet Explorer 7 has been designed to make everyday tasks easier,
provide dynamic security protection and improve the development
platform and manageability. End user improvements include a streamlined
interface, tabbed browsing, printing advances, improved search
functionality, instant feeds (RSS), dynamic security protection, and
more.
Features:
ActiveX Opt-in
· Disables nearly all pre-installed ActiveX controls to prevent
potentially vulnerable controls from being exposed to attack. You can
easily enable or disable ActiveX controls as needed through the
Information Bar and the Add-on Manager.
Simplified User Experience
· The Internet Explorer 7 frame is reorganized to make it noticeably
simpler, more streamlined, and less cluttered with unnecessary items.
This maximizes the area of the screen devoted to the webpages that you
want to see and makes performing the most common browsing tasks easy.
CSS Improvements
· Addresses many of the major inconsistencies that can cause web
developers problems when producing visually rich, interactive webpages.
Improved support for CSS2.1, including selectors and fixed positioning,
allow web developers to create more powerful effects without the use of
script.
Security Status Bar
· Enhances awareness of website security and privacy settings by
displaying color-coded notifications next to the address bar. Internet
Explorer 7 changes the Address Bar green for websites bearing new High
Assurance certificates, indicating the site owner has completed
extensive identity verification checks. Phishing Filter notifications,
certificate names, and the gold padlock icon are now also adjacent to
the address bar for better visibility. Certificate and privacy detail
information can easily be displayed with a single click on the Security
Status Bar.
Advanced Printing
· Automatically scales a printed webpage so that it’s not wider than
the paper it will be printed on. Internet Explorer 7 also includes a
multi-page print preview with live margins, resizing
text to avoid document clipping, and an option to print only selected text.
Application Compatibility Toolkit
· An application compatibility kit will be available for Internet
Explorer 7, allowing IT pros and developers to understand any
incompatibilities with their existing websites, applications, and
deployments.
Phishing Filter
· Proactively warns and helps protect you against potential or known
fraudulent sites and blocks the site if appropriate. The opt-in filter
is updated several times per hour using the latest security information
from Microsoft and several industry partners about fraudulent websites.
Toolbar Search Box
· Web searches using your favorite search provider can now be entered
into a search box within the toolbar, eliminating the clutter of
separate toolbars. You can easily choose a provider from the dropdown
list or add more providers.
Alpha Channel in PNG
· Supports transparency within the PNG image format, resulting in better-looking websites that are simpler to build.
Cross-Domain Barriers
· Limits script on webpages from interacting with content from other
domains or windows. This enhanced safeguard will further protect
against malware by limiting the potential for malicious websites to
manipulate flaws in other websites or cause you to download undesired
content or software.
Favorites Center
· Offers easy and fast access to Favorites, Tab Groups, Browsing
History, and RSS Feed subscriptions. Expands out when needed, and can
be pinned in place for even easier access.
Group Policy Improvements
· Provides support for all aspects of Internet Explorer settings
through Group Policy, greatly easing management across an enterprise.
Delete Browsing History
· Allows you to clean up cached pages, passwords, form data, cookies, and history, all from a single window.
RSS Feeds
· Automatically detects RSS feeds on sites by illuminating an icon on
the toolbar. A single click on the icon allows you to preview and
optionally subscribe to the site’s RSS feed, and then be automatically
notified as content is updated. Read RSS feeds directly in the browser,
scan for important stories, and filter your view with search terms or
site-specific categories.
Internet Explorer Administration Kit
· OEMs and deployment specialists can pre-package Internet Explorer
with customized settings or additional programs for their users.
Address Bar Protection
· Every window, regardless of whether it’s a pop-up or standard window,
will present an address bar to the user, helping to block malicious
sites from emulating trusted sites.
Tabbed Browsing
· View multiple sites in a single browser window. Easily switch from
one site to another through tabs at the top of the browser frame.
Improved AJAX Support
· Improves the implementation of the XMLHTTP Request as a native
Javascript object for rich AJAX-style applications. While Internet
Explorer 6 handled XMLHTTP requests with an ActiveX control, Internet
Explorer 7 exposes XMLHTTP natively. This improves syntactical
compatibility across different browsers and allows clients to configure
and customize a security policy of their choice without compromising
key AJAX scenarios.
International Domain Name Anti-spoofing
· In addition to adding support for International Domain Names in URLs,
Internet Explorer also notifies you when visually similar characters in
the URL are not expressed in the same language, thus protecting you
against sites that could otherwise appear as known, trustworthy sites.
Quick Tabs
· Provides easy tab selection and navigation by displaying thumbnails of all open tabs in a single window.
Open Search Extensions
· In conjunction with Amazon.com, a set of RSS Simple List Extensions
were submitted to the RSS community, and released under the Creative
Commons license. Among other features, these extensions greatly
simplify development of applications that interact with Open
Search-compatible search providers.
URL Handling Security
· Redesigned URL parsing ensures consistent processing and minimizes
possible exploits. The new URL handler helps centralize critical data
parsing and increases data consistency throughout the application.
Tab Groups
· Tabs can be grouped and saved into logical categories, allowing you
to open multiple tabs with a single click. A Tab Group can easily be
set as the Home Page Group so the entire Tab Group opens every time
Internet Explorer is launched from the Start menu.
RSS Platform
· Provides rich functionality for downloading, storing, and accessing
RSS feeds across the entire operating system, and enables more users
than ever before to embrace RSS. Once a feed is subscribed to in one
application, that subscription, and all the associated content, will be
made available across the operating system for any application that
wishes to consume it.
Fix My Settings
· To keep you protected from browsing with unsafe settings, Internet
Explorer 7 warns you with an Information Bar when current security
settings may put you at risk. Within the Internet Control Panel, you
will see certain critical items highlighted in red when they are
unsafely configured. In addition to dialog alerts warning you about
unsafe settings, you will be reminded by the Information Bar as long as
the settings remain unsafe. You can instantly reset Internet security
settings to the ‘Medium-High’ default level by clicking the ‘Fix My
Settings’ option in the Information Bar.
Page Zoom
· Enlarge or zoom in on individual webpages, including both text and
graphics, to either focus on specific content or to make content more
accessible to those with vision limitations.
Add-ons Disabled Mode
· To help troubleshoot difficulties launching Internet Explorer or
reaching specific websites, you have the ability to start in “No
Add-ons” mode, where only critical system Add-ons are enabled.
