Microsoft says the new version of its browser, Explorer 8 (IE8) is much safer, quicker and easier to use. And it is totally true if the comparison is with Explorer 7, and that competition from Firefox and Safari on speed than you. When you first start, Explorer 8 is not much different from before. The changes are so subtle that it costs them. For example, when typing an address, specific domain name is highlighted, the rest Web Slices. One of the new exclusive Explorer 8 Web Slices are called a series of markers linked to pages you visited, so if the assets are added to the bookmarks bar. The goal is to keep us updated and show in a fast (a submenu of information display) updates the page. This saves us several times into the same sites. It's like the RSS links, the difference is that to view its contents do not need to load any page, or open a tab. Are shown as a small overlay window from the bar itself. Already, many newspaper Web Slices that show, for example, the 10 most recent news, weather, or the outcome of football matches, others are for searches, or for translations, but also to share information on social networking favorites. To add them you must pay attention to the orange icon in the RSS as it changes to a green icon when visiting one of the pages that offer this feature. InPrivate. By activating the InPrivate mode did not leave any trace in navigation, it does not store or history of visited pages, and temporary Internet files or data into forms, cookies, user names or passwords. A very useful feature when you share a computer or using a public computer, since you can check email or any site with secure password. Accelerators. I called that precisely because they help to accelerate the different tasks you can do several times while they are visiting a page. Just select a word, phrase, or any other element of the page to display a box with a blue arrow. Clicking on him, is direct despliegua menu of options, such as publishing it automatically selected on a page, include it as a quote on the blog, translating a text, select a word and search on Wikipedia, search for an address in GoogleMaps or send directly via email. This upgrade is still in its beginning and very few accelerators, but is assumed to grow rapidly. Manager. The browser includes a new version of add-ons manager where you can turn on / off, find information on them and the rest of accelerators, search sites or the privacy filters. Although Microsoft claims that it supports Web standards, and the truth is that compared to Explorer 7 has improved, still lags far behind others. The score you get when you pass the Acid 3 test 20/100 is a while comes up to 71/100 Firefox and Safari, still in beta, reached 100/100. Enhanced Address Bar. Just start typing suggestions to appear on sites that have already been visited and which coincide with the writing. Explorer 8 looks in history, in favorites and RSS feeds, and displays the matches for the address or part of the URL. As you type the characters that match are blue. By clicking the red X deletes the addresses from the list. Very useful for getting rid of misspelled addresses. The Explorer 8 is a good browser, faster and more reliable than previous ones which lacks some refinements. Will have to see if he regains lost ground. They're peparando version 8.1 with improved significantly. Since the emergence of Firefox and Safari, Explorer has lost market share. Today is 67% for 22% Firefox and Safari 8%.
