It boasts play in a more beautiful web



Wonder how they are going to do that.

By replacing every web page by a hi-res picture of a spider's web.

Anyhow, I finally have some hope for MS's browser.

Posting from it right now.. Seems to move pretty quickly and everything is condensed up into a small bar at the top (kind of like chrome).

I tried it and I had loads of problems with it. I always get a Internet Explorer has stopped working error for some reason. All I used IE for in the first place was to watch Youtube videos. All the more reason to switch to Google Chrome till a stable version comes out. I might even just stay with chrome for my videos and entertainment stuff.

Wow, this actually isn't terrible.



I feel they are mimicking Chrome now...

All browsers are mimicking each other. I'd like to see a totally unique browser that has nothing but unique features that no other browsers have.

I actually used that to test FF's score and it got 94/100. In any event, that's still an high A. So that's still a pass grade. Nothing to feel ashamed of, I suppose. I might give IE 9 a try again later, or I'll just wait for it to go out of beta stages.

No, nothing to be ashamed of really (though 100/100 would be nice) but IE8 only scores 20/100. That's a pretty big change, kudos to MS.
