Microsoft set to unleash Internet Explorer 8
Closed Published March 19th, 2009 in Browser Security, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 8
Aiming to better compete against a growing list of rivals, Microsoft on Thursday is launching Internet Explorer 8, the latest version of its Web browser. IE 8, as the browser is known, was first shown a year ago and has been in testing for months.
The new browser adds security improvements, a private browsing option, as well as the ability to save pre-defined "slices" of a Web page for at-a-glance viewing. But perhaps the biggest change in the browser is one made behind the scenes–the decision to make the browser better adhere to Web standards. That should make life easier for Web developers in the future, but also poses compatibility challenges for sites that are optimized specifically for older versions of IE.
