Review and how it works

 
 

Internet Explorer (IE) has a better support for CSS than each of its predecessors. The support for CSS2.1, like selectors and fixed positioning, allow web designers to make better effects even without the use of scripts.
Internet Explorer is now offered as part of Windows 7 and Vista, or as a separate download via Microsoft Update for Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1(SP1).
An interesting new feature of IE is the Security Status Bar. The Security Status Bar is mainly intended to improve awareness next to the web site security and privacy settings by showing color-coded notifications next to the address bar that changes to green for web sites bearing new High Assurance certificates, indicating the site owner has completed the extensive identity verification checks.
The newest version of Internet Explorer allows tabbed browsing, a very well-known feature in competing web browsers.
The IE's RSS Platform adds rich functionality for tasks such as downloading, storing, and accessing RSS feeds across the whole operating system, and allows more users than ever before to deal with RSS. Once you have a subscription to a feed, its content will be delivered across the operating system for each instrument that wishes to use it.
The IE Phishing Filter is useful in shielding you against potential or known fraudulent sites being able to block the site if it is the case.
The Cross-Domain Barriers was designed as an improved safeguard commited to protection against malware by limiting the potential of malicious web sites to make you to download unwanted website content.
"Fix My Settings" shelters you from browsing while having unsafe settings. An Information Bar warning will pop out when current security settings may pose a risk for you.

What is new?
With the enhanced AJAX Support the implementation of the XMLHTTP Request becomes easier as a native Javascript object for making rich AJAX-style programs.
Zoom in and zoom out for the webpages, is now accessible as well.
The latest edition of the Internet explorer includes a filter for providing protection against websites that can be considered dangerous.
