IE Beat 2, First Look.

So here is my first look at IE 8 and I am impressed! The installation is simple and the customization is in two simple steps.

Some features that are really cool…

Accelerators are cool add-on's that help you do things..with just a couple of clicks. Take a look at how you can know where to go…

Simply highlight the address and use the Map accelerator to locate it.

Compatibility View assures you that you can still browse web sites that are not IE8 ready!

Check out the new facebook site;
Before ‘Compatibility View’;

After ‘Compatibility View’;

Private Browsing, aka Porn mode for obvious reasons, is another new thing in IE8.

InPrivate Browsing prevents Internet Explorer from storing data about your browsing session. This includes cookies, temporary Internet files, history, and other data.

InPrivate Blocking helps prevent the websites you go to from automatically sharing details about your visit with other websites. To help protect your privacy, some website content might be blocked.

Now remember that the product is still in beta so it may crash and hang but it recovers quite fast! ;)

There are more new features that make IE8 better that the rest. Try it out and see it yourself.
