Microsoft has just released version 8 of Internet Explorer. IE8 is definitely a better browser than IE7. Firstly, IE8 is significantly faster than IE7 and new functions make browsing the web easier and more secure.

Here are some of the most interesting new additions to IE8:

• Accelerators (think addons that make things like mapping addresses or initiating a blog post easier)
• Web Slices (make information from sites available directly in your bookmarks)
• InPrivate browsing (similar to the ‘incognito’ mode in Chrome or the ‘private browsing’ feature in Safari 4)
• Built-in clickjacking prevention
• Built-in phishing prevention
• Crash recovery (similar to Chrome; when a tab crashes, it won’t take down the whole browser and the content is automatically restored and reloaded)

You can download IE8 from here.
