Thursday, August 28 2008 | Tags - ie8, windows |
Microsoft today finally released IE beta 2 :) and the release is loaded with cool new features!
Well, by this time you might have found so many blogs speaking about all the new features available. I am not going to go through them now, but I am going to talk about the features that made me feel good about IE 8 ;)
Find on Page
This is the great addition to IE! I think this should have been the most requested feature and finally we have it today! :)
Improved Search Bar
We already have the ability to change the search provider in IE 7, but in IE 8 Beta 2, it even got better in selecting the search provider :)
Isn't that cool? You can now select the search provider immediately after you type!
Visual Search
If you have used Safari browser, you should be aware of the plug-in Inquisitor - IE 8 too has something similar now :)
Smart Address Bar
Firefox's latest release had it and so do IE 8!

IE 8 takes a step further - You can delete those entries if you don't like them!
Compatibility Icon
This is quite handy! An icon to switch between Compatibility modes
Suggested Sites
You might one day visit some web site and would like to know whether there are any other web site of same kind. IE 8 has a solution for you - It can suggest similar web sites of the kind you are looking for - It just needs some time to learn though ;)
This needs rigorous testing to see whether IE 8 suggests proper web sites or not.
InPrivate Browsing
This is quite handy feature for those who want to....... - Visit here to know more about this cool feature :)
Microsoft has also updated IE 8 web site with Accelerators, Web Slices, Plug-ins and Extensions
I think IE 8 is getting geared up for a wonderful release!
