Internet Explorer 9

Microsoft recently released Internet Explorer 9. While Microsoft Internet Explorer is still the leading Internet browser they have been rapidly losing market share to the likes of Firefox, Google Chrome and even Apple's Safari.

Interestingly Microsoft has forgone a large part of their market with this new release. Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) is only Compatible with Windows 7 & Windows Vista Computers. They chose not to provide support for all the computers running Windows XP – which is still almost about 50% of the computers running a Microsoft Windows Operating System. So for those of you running Windows XP skip the rest of this.

Top Internet Explorer 9 Features:

• Improved Performance – Implementing Hardware Acceleration IE9 is able to take full advantage of the processing power of todays computers. Websites become faster and more responsive.
• Streamlined Interface – The address bar, tabs, and navigation buttons are now on a single row.
• Tab Pinning: Tabs can be pinned to the Windows 7 task bar. Right click on the IE9 task bar icon to bring up a a menu of Pinned and Frequent Websites.
• Download Manager: Capability to manage downloaded files in a simple interface.
• Tracking Protection Lists: Allows the user to determine which websites to allow browsing tracking, and which sites to block that do not implement good privacy practices. NOTE: This feature is Off by Default. To turn it on Click Settings (The Gear Icon on the far right of the IE9 Toolbar) then Safety then Tracking Protection
• SmartScreen Filter: Verifies websites against Microsoft’s blacklist and blocks known malicious sites.
• Add-On Performance Advisor: Looks at your installed add-ons and tells you which ones are slowing your browser down the most and allows you to disable them.

Before installing IE9 check compatibility with any special websites you visit on a regular basis. Banking and Brokerage websites particularly could be of concern. I checked the LexisNexis Requirements for online Research and IE9 is not mentioned yet – this does not mean it will not work.

Internet Explorer 9 is a step in the right direction. With its new security and performance enhancements it is now on par with their main competitors Firefox and Google Chrome. I will have to use it more over the next couple of months and will reserve final judgment.
