Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 Download


section: download, for your questions: KezNews forum, 5.3.2008

Microsoft has put in place the preparations for Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 ready for Mix 08.




A full features page has been revealed which lists the following additions to Internet Explorer:

* Activities
* WebSlices
* Favorites Bar
* Automatic Crash Recovery
* Improved Phishing Filter

Activities allow users to lookup/send information in a right-click contextual menu, such as retrieving an address map from Windows Live Maps, submitting a story to Digg, sharing a page on Facebook etc. WebSlices allows users to crop a specific area section of a site and bookmark it. Improvements have been made to the phishing filter which continues to block known Phishing sites and now blocks sites known to contain malicious software that could harm users’ computer or steal their information.

Perhaps one of the best new features is Automatic Crash Recovery which recovers your tabs if your browser crashes. It is widely expected that Microsoft will release the first beta of Internet Explorer 8 at this years Mix 08 which begins today.

Update: The download is now live and can be installed on Microsoft Windows Vista, XP, Server 2008/2003

By kj on 06.03.2008 - 19:03
this is a good release still a bit buggy but not bad for a beta 1. apparently more consumer features to come (announced at mix) soon as this is for web developers.

By CibehGuaiLAN on 10.03.2008 - 08:03
extremely fast......., unbelievable, beats firefox, however video buffering speed is still slow.
firefox has better security though, i hopes the rtm version beats firefox as i love ie's design.

HOT BROWSER REALLY HOT & I HATE M$

By Foxxy on 14.03.2008 - 00:03
listen i never liked microsoft, but this browser is fast, stable, and well designed. i think they should open source it, since there is no revenue associated with it anyway!

Not an IE fan...But...

By Vollen on 23.03.2008 - 12:03
this version is surprisingly very good! i installed it without issues and it seems to be a much faster, in fact, i think it's even a little faster than ff there is an option to emulate ie 7, which must be engaged when you use msupdate. all-in-all very stable and works great on my machine.
