Internet Explorer 8 increase the speed of internet browsing features such as Accelerators, Web slices, and Instant Search Box that allows users to get new information without leaving the current page is opened.

The world's largest software manufacturer Microsoft Corp. released the latest browser Internet Explorer (IE) 8. Are competing bitterly with the Mozilla Foundation, Apple Inc, Google Inc and the industry in the browser, Microsoft built a different approach than competitors in the browser.

Senior Product Manager Business Strategy Internet Explorer Product Management Microsoft Corp Ryan A Servatius disclose, in the past the browser manufacturers are working to help users save time browsing the Internet with increasing speed in the browser to open web pages.

"Consequently at this time a number of browsers that have outstanding speed that is almost the same level. If there is any speed difference, only a few milliseconds. Therefore, Microsoft followed different approaches in improving the speed of browsing the Internet," said Servatius.

Microsoft argues, the increased speed internet browsing can be done in two ways. First is to increase the speed of the browser in a web page. The second is to reduce the number of clicks and address typing that users should be made to open web pages.

The way it is offered both through Microsoft IE8. Microsoft do with planting three features that improve the efficiency of human interaction with IE8. These features are Accelerators, Web slices, and Instant Search Box. Accelerators built for IE8 lets users access the web services such as blogging, send email, and even language translation, from web pages that are opened.

Alias does not need to open a new page to access the web services are. For example, IE8 when users find interesting information from a web page and want to share that information with others via e-mail, users simply click on the IE8 right information and select the e-mail is used. Next, compose Accelerators opening page of the e-mail users IE8. Compose it on the page, IE8 automatically provides e-mail headers according to the title page informed.

On the body page e-mail that is automatically put in IE8 site address where the information is. That way, IE8 users only need to type an e-mail address of the person addressed. Traditionally, the process is not simply that. The browser user must open the web page e-mail service that uses, click on the compose menu, make a copy-paste the information in which you want to e-mail, type the title, and type the e-mail address of the person who addressed.

The second feature on the Microsoft IE8 planted to improve the speed of people in obtaining information from the web is a web slices. This technology is similar to that of RSS technology. However, Web slices can give the visual appearance of the more wealthy, not just text. On IE8, Web slices appear on the Favorites bar. When there is new information from the subscription site, the Web slices changed into bold letters (bold).

Next, the user can click on the IE8 Web slices and see the latest information without leaving the web page is first opened. The third feature is the Instant Search Box. From the name, it is clear that this is the search feature. However, the Instant Search Box does not like the search features that already exist on a number of other browsers, which only displays search results in the form of text. For on IE8, Instant Search Box is able to display search results in the form of text and images.

That way, users do not necessarily need to open a new page or tab to view the search results. The search results can be seen from the drop-down menu in the Instant Search Box located at the upper-right corner of IE8. Add Servatius, IE8 is not only designed to improve the speed of the user in the search, find, and share information through the web. However, IE8 is also designed to improve security in exploring the Internet.

One of the features of IE8 is designed to improve security is Smart Address Bar. Glance, the address bar IE8 does not look much different than the address bar the property browser. However, the address bar was able to reinforce IE8 (bold) the main (root) site that the user is opened. Bold with the name of the site, the user is expected to avoid traps that take advantage of the site wicked negligence user typing in the address.

Moreover, IE8 also able to warn the user with the Smart-Filter Screen, when user want to open the sites at risk. Traditionally, direct your browser to open any page that addressed users. However, in IE8, SmartScreen Filter first page displays a red warning if the user wanted the web page that is at risk. When a user browsing the internet on public computers, for example in internet cafes, the user can activate the IE8 features InPrivate Browsing. When the feature is active, the IE8 does not record the number of temporary internet files that the user is opened.

This way, user activity on the computer internet cafes that can not be the next visitor internet cafes, which use the same computer. Other improvements offered with the Microsoft IE8 is stability. IE8 on each tab that is opened the user to work independently. This can be seen from the Process menu in the Task Manager on the Windows operating system. Each tab because IE8 is the process of working independently, then when one of the tabs crashes, the tab did not participate crash.

Many of the tab which was opened in IE8 can also be grouped according to category in a sequence so that the user is not difficult to find. When the tab is accidentally closed, then the user can reopen the tabs that a number of features by clicking on the "Reopen Closed Tabs," without the need to open a new blank tab and type in the address.

Research firm Net Applications said, IE is used 67.4% internet users in the world. Second place the position of Mozilla Firefox with 22.0% market share. Apple Safari is third with 8.0%. The fourth is with Google Chrome market share 1.2%. okezone
