This is a brilliant feature but it is completely lost if developers ignore it. "It's about making it as easy for sites to extend and blur into the browser," Hachamovitch told Ars. That means getting directions to the party, figuring out what your friend means when he says he's an "aficionado," or even sending something on the page to a friend via e-mail, all from the right click menu.Ī Web Slice grabs specific information from a website (like the top stories from Digg or the weather forecast) and puts it in a drop-down menu, eliminating the need to browse to the actual website. Accelerators allows users to get-or pass on-information like a map or a definition by right clicking a word on a website and choosing a service from the drop down menu, without ever leaving the page. AdvertisementĪt the same time, Microsoft is also pushing features like Accelerators, Web Slices, and visual search suggestions, which improve how quickly users can get typical browsing tasks done.

This wasn't your typical synthetic JavaScript speed test though Microsoft trumpeted real-world usage of websites and demonstrated how IE loaded the most (out of the top 25) websites faster. In terms of actual rendering, Microsoft made a bold move last week when it announced performance tests that showed IE8 trumping Firefox 3.05 and Chrome 1.0. IE8 feels significantly faster than IE7 no surprises there, given the focus on speed. There are three areas of improvement that are worth underlining with Internet Explorer 8: speed, security, and improved standards support. It's good to see Microsoft fight back with a vengeance, but the company has more competition than ever before, from the likes of Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera. However, with IE8, which is bigger leap from IE7 than IE7 was from IE6, Microsoft is pulling out the big guns and offering features which other browsers have yet to adopt. IE7 was a catch-up release, there's no question about that.

Putting browser standings aside though, why is Hachamovitch excited for the public response to IE8? Well, the lengthy feature list is one thing, but what really needs to be emphasized here is that IE8 puts Microsoft back in the game. The news about IE8's resource usage is promising: despite all the new features and tweaks to the browser, Microsoft still kept performance of the actual program under scrutiny during development. Ars had a chance to talk to Dean yesterday about IE8's release, and he touted the fact that IE8 uses fewer resources than earlier versions and said he was "excited about how people will respond to IE8." Hachamovitch also laid to rest any speculation that IE8 would be the final version of the browser or that IE9 would switch to WebKit.
