Internet Explorer 9 beta new features

Internet_Explorer_9    So, I downloaded new Internet Explorer 9 beta and what a difference, I might change browser once again back to Internet explorer from Firefox. I usually recommend Firefox for it’s easy to use interface and quick response plus security, but the new IE 9 has really stepped it up this time.
Here is a list of new features that are available with new IE9.

New Design
Looks great, expands to full screen and has less items on it's bar, less busy, easy to use.
 
New Tab Page
View all you pages in new tab page view it is easy to pick.

Search in the address bar
No need to open a search engine, just enter what you need on address bar and it looks for it. Don't exactly remember the website name or name of the what you are looking for no worries. It will look at all search engines you select to find the best selection closer to what you typed.

Enhanced tabs
Now you can keep track of what you have been watching, opens page that shows you your open tabs and tells you what you have visited most. Now this can be good or bad, will either tell you and help you remember favorite websites, but might show you that you are addicted to a certain web page. :-)

New Download manager
Shows you  all the downloads in order and helps download faster. Kind of like Firefox but nicer looking.

Pinned Sites
Ever wanted to get your favorite web pages on your desktop without or task bar, well now you can very easily. I know a lot of you facebook fans will love this because you can just pin it to your desktop and open the windows in one click.

Internet Explorer 9 is currently in beta stages. If you are not tech savvy stay away from it for a while until it comes out, but it is sure to be a welcomed update to internet explorer that everyone that uses it should look forward to. It even seems to be faster than Google chrome. Will continue testing, if you techs wants it and have not download it, just head over to Microsoft website and download the beta.
