According to foreign media reports, on MIX 2010, Microsoft released the Developer Preview version of the new-generation browser IE9 as expected. What is the difference between IE9? Is it enough to combat the challenges of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Apple Safari? Next, let's take a look:

#1And what new functions does IE9 have?
Microsoft claims that, compared with IE8, the speed and performance of IE9 and Web standard support have been greatly improved, and the biggest advantage is that HTML5 support has been enhanced.
