Features of Internet Explorer Beta 8 Download

Much hyped browser by Microsoft — Internet Explorer 8 is finally available for download. This is the beta 1 release.There are new exciting features but the look most closely resembles to that of Internet Explorer 7. It is too early too say this already but it looks more like a major IE 7 update than a whole new browser itself but the thing to remember is that it is still the beta release, not the final.I have not find this new version very friendly like Firefox. There are two three new features which can be added to firefox via addon. There is no comparison of world's most use browser with firefox , atleast in my view.

There are few new features in Internet Explorer - 8 Beta

Activities

Activities are contextual services to quickly access a service from any webpage. Users typically copy and paste from one webpage to another. Internet Explorer 8 Activities make this common pattern easier to do.

Web Slices

WebSlices is a new feature for websites to connect to their users by subscribing to content directly  within a webpage. WebSlices behave just like feeds where clients can subscribe to get updates and notify the user of changes.

Favorites Bar

In Internet Explorer 7, the Links bar provided users with one-click access to their favorite sites. The Links bar has undergone a complete makeover for Internet Explorer 8. It has been renamed the Favorites bar to enable users to associate this bar as a place to put and easily access all their favorite web content such as links, feeds, WebSlices and even Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.

Automatic Crash Recovery

Automatic Crash Recovery (ACR) is a feature of windows Internet Explorer 8 that can help to prevent the loss of work and productivity in the unlikely event of the browser crashing or hanging. The ACR feature takes advantage of the Loosely-Coupled Internet Explorer feature to provide new crash recovery capabilities, such as tab recovery, which will minimize interruptions to users’ browsing sessions.

Improved Phishing Filter

Internet Explorer 7 introduced the Phishing Filter, a feature which helps warn users when they visit a Phishing site. Phishing sites spoof a trusted legitimate site, with the goal of stealing the user’s personal or financial information. For Internet Explorer 8, we are building on the success of the Phishing Filter with a more comprehensive feature called the “Safety Filter”.
