Microsoft launched IE8 Beta 2. IE8 is faster, easier and safer. To get a feel for the new IE8 experience, check out the videos here, download the product, and try it out. Here are my 5 personal favorites:
-
Accelerators - Highlight an address, click the blue button and hover over “Map” or try Right Clicking a Page and Choosing Translate with Windows Live. Check out the
new IE Gallery that has cool accelerators and slices from Digg to FaceBook to Ebay
-
Web Slices - Visit Live Search, search for “Seattle Weather” (or major city relevant to your region), hover over the rich search result and click the green button. Click it to add a Weather Web Slice to your Favorites Bar.
-
Search Suggestions - Go to your Instant Search Box (top right) and type a search to see search suggestions in action.
-
Navigation - Use the new Smart Address Bar to quickly find sites you’ve visited before. The Smart Address Bar searches your history, favorites AND feeds for pages that match what you’re typing.
-
Security - IE8 has the best security features in the market today from its updated Smartscreen phishing and malware filter to domain highlighting to the industry leading cross-site scripting filter so I feel my machines, my identity and my family will be safer on the Internet.
What about Firefox? below are just a few things that IE8 has that Firefox doesn’t:
-
Out-of-the box integrated Accelerators put your favorite blog, mapping, mail, search and other services a click-away
-
Built-in Privacy mode keeping you in control of what information you share and with whom, both on your PC and on the web
-
Rich visual search results and instant answers from partners like Wikipedia, New York Times, and Amazon
-
Intuitive tab grouping and color coding to mirror the way you browse and help organize your browsing experience
-
Automatic tab-level crash recovery for uninterrupted browsing
