Internet Explorer 8 beta 1
Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 8 beta 1 today to the public. The link was not working when I tried this morning. It seems to be working now. Here are some of the new features in Internet Explorer 8.
Activities - Activities are contextual services to quickly access a service from any webpage.
WebSlices - WebSlices is a new feature for websites to connect to their users by subscribing to content directly within a webpage. WebSlices behave just like feeds where clients can subscribe to get updates and notify the user of changes.
Favorites Bar - enable users to associate this bar as a place to put and easily access all their favorite web content such as links, feeds, WebSlices and even Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. This is similar to Bookmarks Toolbar Folder in Firefox.
Automatic Crash Recovery - Automatic Crash Recovery (ACR) is a feature of Internet Explorer 8 that can help to prevent the loss of work and productivity in the unlikely event of the browser crashing or hanging. This is similar to Firefox's crash recovery.
Phishing filter renamed to Safety Filer.
