Internet Explorer 8 (Beta)

By Dana Wollman

The latest version of Internet Explorer doesn't just deliver improved speed, privacy measures, and ease of use. It evolves the Web-surfing experience.

Address bar autocompletes, Can reopen closed tabs, Enhanced search options, Innovative Web Slices feature, Improved speed, Ability to browse without leaving tracks

Still easy to close tabs by mistake

Like the address bar, the search bar now has an autocomplete feature and separates suggestions from items in your browser history. Another neat trick: By clicking the arrow next to the search bar, you can choose "Find on this Page" and IE 8 will ...

Microsoft's new browser is decent but faces vigorous competition

Standards compliance enables the web to move forward ; Accelerators, privacy modes and developer tools

Too late ; compliance still behind ; high memory usage

The best IE yet, but not enough to reverse the trend towards third-party browsers

Internet Explorer 8 Review

By Ted Kritsonis

Though it was in a public beta for at least a year, Microsoft finally raised the curtain on Internet Explorer 8 - adding some more intrigue into the "battle of the browsers".

After right-clicking on a tab and choosing to start a new one, I was impressed to see that IE 8 placed the new tab right next to it and not at the end of the line, no matter how many I had open. It also colour-coded them, so that I knew they were ...
