Internet Explorer 8 beta 2

Microsoft released the second beta of Internet Explorer 8. differences from the first beta small, but there are, and they are, in my opinion, very positive.

And so, look (all pictures are clickable).

It appeared InPrivateBrowsing - a new mode that allows users to go to certain sites without leaving any traces in your browser history, and passing at least a remote data server. Mode is easier to manage and visual.

The purpose of these features is to protect the personal data of users, which has recently become very important. Many companies that sell advertising via the Internet, without the knowledge of users, collect data of them (user preferences, passwords, visitor statistics, activity of clicking on ads links). InPrivateBrowsing mode will allow the user is on the Internet without fear of being tracked. Another possibility would be addition to IE8 InPrivateBrowsing mode that allows you to fully lock the display on the site any material coming from the third address - very handy for cutting "Left" ads.

Tabs, depending on the mode of operation, distinguished by different colors. Some have questioned the colors and the utility of this change, but I liked it.

Little changed kind of the input line addresses - now there are all displayed in groups and topics.

There was a regime that sobiretes information about visited sites, and on the basis of these data, recommends a visit similar resources.

IE7 emulation mode is smoothly transformed into a compatibility mode that you can not just turn on or off, but also to fine-tune for the correct display of a particular website.

search bar ennobled the new drop-down menu with icons search engines and easy access to the settings of the search engines.

Overall performance has become much better - the browser now does not think the processing of commands, working instantly. Just increase and stability. If the first beta I fell regularly several times a day (and I'm very actively use the Internet), the second showed a rare stability, not once in two days, not taking off. Barely noticeably change the drawing windows and tabs gives the browser a more elegant look. The impression from the browser I have a very positive, if it continues, Microsoft will move in this direction, it may appear decent in all respects, the universal tool for work Internet.

In addition to these features, as are a number of chips undergoing testing for final release.
