Firefox has a higher availability than IE 7, and is even more available than IE 7 by providing restoration protection before it is released. If IE 7 crashes, the previous data will be lost. If Firefox crashes, the previous data will be restored. This feature is the main reason why I have always insisted on using Firefox rather than IE. If I write a blog and Firefox crashes, I can restart my browser to reply to my work. However, if I have lost all my work in IE 7.
Microsoft only follows suit in IE 8, so its new features also include restoration protection. In Firefox 3, Dean demonstrates a running video on a tab, crashes it when another web page tab is opened, and restarts Firefox to restore the previous content, however, the video playback position is lost. He re-demonstrated it in IE 8, and only the newly opened tab crashes, while another tab is still playing the video.
"This is because we separate tabs," Dean said. "This change is extremely useful to users who open many tabs ." If Dean compares this feature with Chrome, the Google browser runs the tab as a separate browser.
Dean also stressed some user interface changes, such as searching the list of suppliers. According to a survey conducted by Microsoft, 70% of users have installed more than one browser. According to my tests, Microsoft is simpler than any other browser in selecting browser providers, including Firefox. However, this still does not block Google's complaints about IE search, because Google wants to be the default vendor like Firefox.
