According to Internet news, Microsoft is developing an improved version of IE 8.0: IE 8.1. This improved version will be embedded in the Windows 7 operating system, greatly improving stability and functionality.
The internal version of IE 8.1 is 8.1.5002.12312a, with the Development code "eagleeye" and supports-bit encryption. Through improved security features and cross-site scripting XSS support, the security of IE 8.1 is significantly improved. Currently, 96% of malware and malicious sites are blocked by IE 8.1.
Another improvement is the support of Firefox extension plug-ins. Now, Internet Explorer not only supports functional plug-ins written for IE, but also supports Firefox plug-ins, for example, popular Firebug and Tab Mix Plus Plug-ins will also log on to IE. In addition, some plug-ins work perfectly on IE, not inferior to Firefox 3.
As for the problem that IE has always been criticized and does not follow the ACID standard, IE 8.1 has also been completely improved, and the Acid 3 test has scored a high score of 71. This is currently the highest score for IE browsers of all ages.
The JavaScript engine has also been improved, and the JavaScript performance of IE 8 browser, which is widely criticized, has become a historical issue. Compared with other browsers, the JavaScript performance of IE series browsers is completely successful.
For IE compatibility issues left over by IE browser, it is also very simple now. Users can switch between IE 7 and IE 8 in compatibility modes of multiple browsers, it also includes Firefox 3 and Safari 2, a competitor of Microsoft. Web page writers do not need to consider the compatibility of multiple browsers. Now, if you only need to install the IE 8.1 browser, all the remaining problems will be solved.
