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.
