It's more than a little frustrating that the top of the page or article gets shown and as you scroll down it all gets fudged out. I don't understand why they would let any version, beta or not, be released whereby such universal websites as Amazon, Wikipedia and Googlemaps DON'T LOAD PROPERLY. I 'upgraded' from IE8 to IE9 around a week ago and I've now reach my limit - I'm abandoning ship too. So, out of the kindness of my heart I have stuck by IE when all else haven jumped ship to Mozilla. Silly to call the Microsoft money-making power house an underdog, but it seems to be a fallen giant, and always got the flak for everything that goes wrong. I have always stuck by Microsoft because I tend to favour the underdog. Watch out: the browser wars just got exciting again.īy Anonymous reviewed on November 13, 2010 In all, the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 is faster and prettier than its predecessors - and really throws down the gauntlet to its competitors. New features like hang recovery and InPrivate Filtering provide Internet Explorer a stabler and more secure web experience than most other browsers. IE 9 features decent support for HTML 5 (the new generation of media-rich websites use this language), and now finishes the Acid 3 test with a near-perfect 95/100.
Internet Explorer 9 also offers improved speed and performance, as well as better compliance with web standards and new technologies.
The new Performance Advisor add-on identifies add-ons that are slowing Internet Explorer down (a feature badly needed in Mozilla Firefox). IE 9 also lets you 'pin' websites to the Superbar and allows you to bookmark your favorite websites as 'applications' in your OS. Among the new features included in Internet Explorer 9 are better integration with the Windows operating system and a seriously beefed-up security system.
