    Internet Explorer 8

    Anyone tried their latest browser yet?

    SmartScreen Filter

    New security features help to protect you against deceptive and malicious websites which can compromise your data, privacy, and identity.


    Compatibility View

    Internet Explorer 8's built-in Compatibility View button enables you to display websites that were designed for older browsers. Simply press the Compatibility View button if you see display problems on a website like misaligned text, images, or text boxes. It's located next to the Refresh button on the Address Bar.


    Web Slices

    Keep up with changes to the sites you care about most. Add a Web Slice and you won't have to go back to the same website again and again for updates on news, stock quotes, online auctions, weather, or even sports scores.


    InPrivate Browsing

    Keep Internet Explorer 8 from adding any sites you visit to Browsing History with InPrivate Browsing. Now you can shop for that special gift with confidence knowing your family won't accidentally find out.


    Accelerators

    Accelerators let you complete your everyday browsing activities more quickly and even discover new services. Start mapping, translating, emailing, and more in just a few mouse clicks.


    Search suggestions

    Search smarter with detailed suggestions from your favorite search providers and browsing history. See visual previews and get suggested content topics while you type in the enhanced Instant Search Box.

    I think it crap and went back to IE 7, too many bugs still in it, sometimes it works and other times it will only show a couple of links from a google search then if you search again it will show them all. There where other things I didnt like but cant remember but it was pissing me off so I dumped it.

      I dumped it also, was slower than 7 starting up and locked up often. Its also no good at the moment for internet banking as those sites do not recognise it etc..
