The release brings UI improvements like tabbed browsing and tab previews, plus better CSS support. The author notes concerns about IE-specific CSS hacks and browser-specific JavaScript objects like XMLHttpRequest affecting a personal project, and confirms that an annoying beta 1 bug causing long-loading pages to time out after 30 seconds has been fixed in RC1. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What changed between Internet Explorer 7 beta 1 and RC1 regarding page load timeouts? Internet Explorer 7 RC1 removed the beta 1 behavior where a page taking longer than 30 seconds to load would stop and report the page as unavailable. This was particularly disruptive when debugging ASP.NET web applications, since slow local debugging sessions would get cut off. In RC1 pages are allowed to keep loading beyond that threshold instead of failing. _Developers tracking browser quirks across versions can follow changes like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [WordPress 7.0.1 RC1 is now available](https://daily.dev/posts/wordpress-7-0-1-rc1-is-now-available-xj43dukea) · Make WordPress Core · 1 upvotes · 3 comments - [New to the web platform in May](https://daily.dev/posts/new-to-the-web-platform-in-may-1vuhyespd) · web.dev · 18 upvotes · 4 comments - [Firefox is cooking again](https://daily.dev/posts/firefox-is-cooking-again-mhu1kt5o3) · Bytes by ui.dev · 147 upvotes · 38 comments - [Impressions from Mozilla 1.2b \(2002\)](https://daily.dev/posts/impressions-from-mozilla-1-2b-2002--6v2juszcl) · Lobsters · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#css](https://daily.dev/tags/css), [#microsoft-edge](https://daily.dev/tags/microsoft-edge) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/internet-explorer-7-rc1-available-mvob7fsjk) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Internet Explorer 7 RC1 available","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/internet-explorer-7-rc1-available-mvob7fsjk","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/internet-explorer-7-rc1-available-mvob7fsjk"},"datePublished":"2026-10-04T13:06:29.187Z","dateModified":"2026-10-04T13:16:45.422Z","description":"Internet Explorer 7 Release Candidate 1 has shipped, downloadable officially or via an unofficial standalone installer.
