Internet Explorer 9 provides the best web experience for Windows. Here are the top reasons why you should get it today.
1. It's all - around fast - hardware - accelerated text, video, and graphics speed up performance and make websites perform like programs that are installed on your computer.
2. Streamlined and simplified design - gives you the basic controls you need and puts the focus on your websites.
3. One - click access to your favorite sites - with Pinned Sites, you can get to your favorite sites directly from the Windows taskbar without having to open your browser first.
4. A combined search and Address bar - one place to either navigate to a website or start a search.
5. Redesigned New Tab page - now you have quick access to the sites you visit most often, and you can also reopen closed tabs or your last browsing session, or start an InPrivate Browsing session.
6. Integration with Windows 7 - with Snap, Pinned Sites, Jump Lists, and thumbnail preview controls, Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7 bring you the best web experience for Windows.
7. Improved add - on management - Add - on Performance Advisor tells you if an add - on is slowing down your browser and allows you to disable or remove it, helping ensure that your browser stays fast over time.
8. Helps control your privacy - Tracking Protection enables you to limit the browser's communication with certain websites to help keep your information private.
9. Keeps your downloads in order - Download Manager keeps a running list of the files you download from the Internet, notifies you if a file could be malicious, and allows you to pause and restart a download.
- Hardware-accelerated text, video, and graphics: The new graphic capabilities and improved performance in Internet Explorer 9 set the stage for immersive and rich experiences.
- New Tab page: Internet Explorer 9 surfaces the websites you love most and puts them one click away. Once you're in the browser, the New Tab page helps get you started browsing quickly, providing meaningful suggestions and information to help you decide what to do next as you browse.
- Notification Bar: Notifications in Internet Explorer 9 allow for more fluid and faster browsing. Instead of dialog boxes popping up unexpectedly and getting in your way, all notification messages are consolidated in the Notification Bar, located at the bottom of the browser frame.
- Pinned Sites: With Pinned Sites, you can get to your favorite sites directly from the Windows taskbar—without having to open Internet Explorer first.
- Tear-off tabs: Tear-off tabs make interacting with multiple sites fast and intuitive. You can rearrange tabs within Internet Explorer 9—just like you can rearrange icons in the taskbar in Windows 7—or you can open any tab in a new browser window by dragging that tab to your desktop.
- Focused on your websites: Designed based on what you use most, the navigational controls in Internet Explorer 9 are streamlined and simplified. The back button is larger, the address bar and search box are combined into one new address bar, and the multiple menus from previous versions of Internet Explorer are consolidated into a single menu.
- Cross-site scripting filter: Cross-site scripting attacks are a leading online threat. Their aim is to exploit vulnerabilities in the websites you visit. How do they work? By compromising legitimate websites with malicious content that can capture keystrokes and record your login information and password. If your login information and password is captured, your personal data could be compromised.
- Domain highlighting: One way to avoid deceptive websites is to know the address of the website you're intending to visit. With domain highlighting, Internet Explorer 9 lets you see the true web address at a glance by highlighting the domain name in the address bar, making it easier for you to identify the sites you visit.
