This users' small gripes of IE9
Just a thread of my little dislikes of IE9 RTM.
*Not to be confused with a general IE9 availability discussion thread.*
1.) Why they chose to keep the Back Button so that it under-laps the bar underneath it is beyond me. Just looks wrong, sorry.
2.) Favorites/bookmarks are now on the right side with no way of moving it back to the left hand side. Don't like it there as I'm left handed. Wish I had the option of moving it back.
*Notice that you can either use Ctrl-Shift-H or right click on the back button to get "History", and the Favorites to open up on the left side again. But not a permanent solution.*
3.) Homepage/favorites/tools icons are all on the right side with no way of moving or customizing them. Again, annoying for me being left handed.
*Can have the Menu Bar enabled yeah, but would rather be able to have the icons movable to left or right and not use the Menu Bar at all.*
4.) Default download location box doesn't let the Drive letter show up if you change it to another Drive location. Say I want downloads to go to another Drive - G:/Downloads. It will just say - downloads.
While this is a minor thing, it took a download of something to actually know that the download was going to the drive I specified it to.
Could just show the complete address in the Browse list to begin with.
5.) No native in-line spell checker. Not sure why there still isn't one. Can use third party add-on (Speckie, iespell), but why not just have one native?
6.) Although it seems fast, I don't see it being any faster than the other major browsers like some are stating, in fact it seems a little slower to me in some parts so far against FF4.
May in fact grow on me the more I use it and probably will, although (besides the tab locations) the lack of available basic customization is kind of disappointing.
Just wanted to state some of my own personal opinions, cosmetic or irrelevant as they may be.
Not to be confused with a fanboi or flame thread.
