Today, Microsoft released a public beta of Internet Explorer 7.

Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) Beta 3 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.

To download this new beta, go here.

For a nice changelog, look on the IE Blog.

Beta 3 seems more solid than beta 2 and perhaps a bit quicker. They've made the icons look better and change the favorites back to a star icon.

I've installed IE7b3 on another computer, and it’s a lot smoother-running than the previous beta; I also like the improvements made. As long as Firefox has the extensibility factor in its favor, I won’t even think about switching to other browsers. I like all the extensions available that add functionality no other browser can offer.

Until Microsoft can figure out all the major bugs in IE7 (which might not be until its final release), I never recommend installing it as a main browser. I’ve had a lot of people complain to me how it destroyed the computer’s dll library during uninstallation.

Can you explain more about the extensibility factor ? I m using IE7 and I am satisfied so far.
