Is Microsoft IE8 too secure?

Every time Microsoft releases the new version of Internet Explorer, it will cause a lot of waves on the Internet, and IE8 is no exception. Since its launch in March 20, IE8 has been enthusiastically sought after by its fans and has no shortage of competitors. Of course, the most important concern for users is Microsoft's security experience.
 
It can be said that Microsoft engineers are painstaking in designing IE8, which not only enables the new version of IE to enable anti-phishing tools by default, but also adds the privacy browsing function. IE8 can directly enable blocking even if the user is directed to an insecure website without knowing it. According to a research report from the NSS Lab, IE8 is superior to other browsers in malware protection, with a blocking rate of up to 69% for malicious websites. Of course, in addition to security, Microsoft also stressed that IE8 will allow users to experience simpler and faster browser functions.

What is IE8 like? I know it only when I try it! In the face of the temptation of new browsers, many users in China who are used to other browsers are eager to download and try it on Microsoft's official website, after all, the topic about personal information security on the Internet was picked up a few days ago. I heard that there is a more secure browser, and users certainly don't want to miss it.

However, users "want to use" cannot simply put an equal sign with "easy to use. Two days ago, a few friends who tried the new version of IE8 complained to me on MSN, saying that IE8 is fast but has increased a lot of features, but it is "too safe ", many websites cannot be opened, and even newspaper writers cannot. "Security is quite safe, but will it be too secure ?" In their eyes, security also raises new problems. Because many websites are directly blocked by Internet Explorer 8 due to "insufficient security", they are forcibly interrupted during website browsing, this kind of interruption of goodwill will inevitably get bored.

Not to mention that Microsoft IE8's "good intentions" are mistakenly regarded by some users as "heart and lungs", emphasizing that security itself is not wrong. However, if security is emphasized, users may frequently encounter browsing interruptions, so that users are not interested in the use of the new version of the browser, is a major challenge that IE8 can not ignore at present, after all, users need not only simple, fast, secure, but also convenient and smooth.

It is true that every new version of browsers should be welcomed with a tolerant attitude. However, during the trial process, if we find that the new version of browsers cannot meet some of the original requirements, the user can only return to the old version or switch to another browser. After all, browsers are becoming increasingly diversified and users can have more options.
