New features in IE8 Beta version

The first test version (Beta 1) of Internet Explorer was quickly launched to demonstrate the "standard mode" fully compatible with W3C standards that Microsoft has strongly introduced to the browser. Internet Explorer 8.

There are many changes and additional features in IE8 version. However, in the newly released Beta 1, users are only exposed to some minor changes such as the context menu when right-clicking on an object will have a list of services attached to the object. Or you can select these services from the "Activities" button on IE8's toolbar. Services in these context menus are based on XML templates that IE8 users can add here.

Right-click and select the list of services from the "activities" menu.

An example of the convenience of changing context menus is when you are browsing a website that buys online goods and wants to buy something you like, but this website does not offer delivery or no stores. permanent. You can find them via mapping tools by filling in the address and right mouse points, select the map to find the store location.

IE8 "borrowed" some of the existing features from other browsers such as WebSlices, which works almost like RSS feeds, allowing registration to update information from websites and reporting changes to users. WebSlices is similar to WebClips in Safari browser that Mac users have had a chance to get acquainted with before.

Update information with WebSlices.

A good feature of IE8 is worth noting that restoring web browsing tabs is a problem, but previously, IE7 users had to use a third-party plug-in to exploit this feature. Automatic Crash Recovery will help to restore the damaged website (tab) section to its original state, without losing the user's address and activities. Next is an Internet-based anti-phishing security filter (phishing) that warns when users browse websites that are thought to be deceptive and suspicious. And finally, the "Favorites bar" sounds like the FireFox browser Favorites bar.

The Favorites Bar is quite similar to FireFox.
