Internet Explorer 9 review !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Microsoft has released Internet Explorer 9, the most Chrome-like version of IE we can imagine. Luckily, Redmond also copied the best features of Chrome: its flexibility and speed.

For Web addicts, the last few years have been great. While Microsoft was once content to sit on its browser throne, intense competition from Google and Mozilla has brought a plethora of innovative new features to the market. Whenever one browser implements a popular new feature, the others seem sure to follow. Never has this been more clear than with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9, the newest version of its exceedingly popular browser. IE9 is a blatant copy of Google’s Chrome browser, right down to its searchable address bar. We’d complain more if Microsoft didn’t also copy Chromes best feature: it’s speed and adherence to Web standards.

The first thing we noticed when we installed IE9 was how snappy it is. Though it doesn’t appear to run faster than Chrome in many actual page loads, it certainly feels like it loads a lot faster, and that’s half the battle. For Internet Explorer users, IE9 is a monumental step forward for the browser in almost every way. Unfortunately, for the picky and those who have already abandoned IE, there are a few things that will annoy you.

RockMelt Browser Opens Up To All, More Quietly This Time........!!!!!!!!

When RockMelt launched its new browser in private beta last November, it was greeted with an avalanche of press. RockMelt is a new social browser built around Facebook, realtime feeds, and faster search. The fact that Netscape founder Marc Andreessen is a major backer probably had something to do with the intense interest also.

Reviews were mixed and then interest sort of died dow

n. The only way you could try it is if a beta user sent you an invite. Until now. After more than 15 updates and months of testing with “a few hundred thousand active users,” says CEO Eric Vishria, he is ready to open up the browser to anyone who wants to try it. You can download it here at RockMelt’s site.

RockMelt is built on top of Chromium, the same open source browser that is the foundation for Google’s Chrome. It updates at about the same pace, give or take two weeks. One of the biggest criticisms of RockMelt is that it’s Chrome, but with extensions that are forced on you. RockMelt adds a rail on the left with all of your Facebook friends who are online with presence indicators, and another rail on the right with all your RSS feeds, Twitter and Gmail accounts, and custom apps. But you can hide those if you don’t like them and you can also use any of the Chrome Apps available in the Chrome Web Store.
