Internet Explorer 8 Official Download _ Common Tools

Microsoft's introduction to IE8 BETA1 based on the previous introduction, IE8 Browser has three rendering modes, one of which is to support the current web standards, the second scenario is for the implementation of the problem of the Web page, and the third Way is to return the rendering to the initial stage of the Web page, That meets the original web standards, and can display antique-level pages entirely. In order to remain compatible with IE7, IE8 even invoked the method of simulating IE7. Users need to click the "7" button to simulate the existing IE7. Microsoft Chief Software designer Ray Ozzie said the initial plan was to make IE8 use IE7 's default settings, but the company finally chose the current Web standard, saying: "This is clearly a complex issue, with billions of of pages designed using previous versions of browser compatibility mode" but on the other hand, This is good for web designers. "If all vendors give priority to universally accepted standards, it can lead to evolution." Microsoft now encourages content publishers to update their sites in the IE8 testing phase to meet current web standards. In fact, not long ago, Opera's CTO had thought that IE8 eventually failed to pass ACID2 tests.


According to the Microsoft IE8 official website, we now understand some of the new features of IE8, including:
　 Activities (Active content Service)
WebSlices (Web Subscriptions)
Favorites Bar (Favorites bar)
Automatic Crash Recovery (auto crash recovery)
Improved Phishing filter (improved anti-phishing filter) 　　
Activities (Active content Service)
Active content services, which means that users can quickly access services from Web services, users typically copy and paste the contents of a Web page, where the content is sent to a Web application, for example, when a user sees a restaurant address on the page, and he can send the address he sees to the map service. In other cases, such as when a user sees an interesting article, he can also use the feature to send some text to a blog. For the content of the active service, the user can install or manage it.

WebSlices (Web Subscriptions)
WebSlices is a new feature, when users access the network can not open the site to view subscriptions, WebSlices seems to be similar to feeds, Microsoft's demo for subscribing to the weather forecast.

You can also add addresses that include Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files.


Automatic Crash Recovery (automatic failure recovery)
Users of IE series browsers are often able to run into IE-browser crashes. After you open IE again, the Web page you just browsed is not saved, and you don't even know where to find them. The ACR automatic fault recovery feature is an important improvement in IE 8 browsers. When IE browser crashes, ACR automatically saves user-browsed pages and restores them.

Improved Phishing filter (improved anti-phishing filter)
The Phishing Filter provided in IE7 is promoted in the new IE 8, which pops up and warns users of possible threats when they encounter a possible phishing website. And a new "secure filtering" feature is added, which, in addition to continuing to block known phishing sites, can also check known malware to reduce the theft of personal information from users.
