Internet Explorer 9: It’s Different!

Have you ever encountered a virtual battle? Yeah! You heard it right. I am talking about a battle, the one that is taking place between different web browsers. Last Friday while I was reading a tech blog, I got to know that Microsoft had released its much awaited browser- Internet Explorer 9. I did not even wait to finish reading the article and immediately opened another tab to start downloading Internet Explorer 9. I had to get firsthand experience, the browser war was heating up and I did not want to sit back and relax with an old browser.

At first glance, Internet Explorer 9 may look like any other browser but that is not the case. It is different. The first thing you like about Internet Explorer 9 is its integration with Windows 7. If you use Windows 7, you don’t have to pin the shortcut to taskbar anymore, it automatically appears on the taskbar.

Also, the built in download manager is super fast as compared to previous versions of Internet Explorer. I could see a huge difference while downloading an iYogi video, which was posted on YouTube. Microsoft has really worked on this version of download manager, it has introduced a feature that resumes downloading when you pause and shows the transfer rate in the status bar. The download manager also alerts you if the file you are downloading has malicious content or is simply virus-infected. Unlike other browsers, the download manager for Internet Explorer 9 stopped me from downloading a malicious application on my laptop when I tried to test this feature.

If you have ever encountered an error while using previous versions of Internet Explorer, and if the error message has prompted you to stop all work and close all browsers, you would love Internet Explorer 9. If a particular tab is causing problems in Internet Explorer 9, it would simply prompt you to close that tab while you can continue doing your work as usual.

Apart from all the improvements in Internet Explorer 9, the one feature that steals the show, for me, is the ease with which I can stream high definition videos. Travelling and watching videos on my laptop is going to be so much fun now.

Yeah I know, I might sound like a Microsoft fan right now, but I could change loyalties, if people from Google and Mozilla were to introduce some more changes in their browsers!
