Flightless Bird
The main reason why I'm not using IE at home is the really bad handling with
favorites. This is what most influences my UX with a browser, as I use them
in every single session.
First, the Favorites button and especially the "Add to Favorites Bar" button
should be removed. They're annoying. I want to add my favorites by dragging a
tab directly to the place where it belongs. It's annoying that I first have
to click on this button, then sometimes the new link doesn't even appear in
the favorites bar (bug) and after that I have to take it again and
drag'n'drop it to the place where I already initially wanted to place it.
Also, if I hover over a folder, it doesn't open. That means I need one button
click and two drag'n'drop moves until I finally have placed my favorite.
In the bookmarks library (using Firefox terms here), I only place links that
I want to remember but not expect to use again anytime soon. No need to waste
space in my favorites bar with the "Favorites" button. If I want to access it
more often, I put the link directly in the Favorites bar.
And third, the Organize boorkmarks dialog is also really bad when compared
with Firefox.
When it come to Favorites, Firefox is really a good example (I also like the
xmarks extension, but that's another story). I hope IE will make some
improvements here.
