To do so, click and hold on a tab and drag it to the taskbar to pin. This is quite useful, especially for sites we visit on a frequent basis. Another important improvement is the overall browser performance thanks to a new Javascript engine as well as hardware acceleration.
As a comparative, the rendering speed of the web pages and the performance executing Javascript is as fast as in Google Chrome, Faster than Mozilla Firefox and miles away over IE8. About the browser start times, its been also improved and to be honest, the whole thing feels fast and smooth. Moreover, its much-touted hardware acceleration, which uses the graphics processor to render web videos improves the performance a lot.
The most important focus of IE9 it to be a safe, secure and private browser. In this manner, there are two main features. One is called ActiveX Filtering which once turned on, it will block all ActiveX controls from being loaded on websites, unless you choice to allow them on a particular website.
In short explanation, ActiveX controls e. Adobe's Flash Player which is safe, of course are like small plugins you can install on your computer to enable your web browser to run small programs to display content. But, there are a lot of unsafe ActiveX controls out there and also a lot of unsafe websites which will add exploit holes in your system. Another addition to 'safe and secure' is the Tracking Protection which enables you to keep sites from tracking your activity across browsing sessions.
Moreover, the tracking protection feature a Tracking Protection Lists. These are lists of websites that IE9 will block from loading on your computer, therefore they will be unable to track you since they cannot load the image or animation required to track you or run the tracking code.
Finally, the SmartScreen Filter will warn you if you're downloading a known virus, before you run the file and also if you're downloading a file that hasn't been verified as safe. As expected, the other security feature built into the browser, called Protected Mode, which stops Internet Explorer 9 IE9 or ActiveX controls running in the browser from accessing the system to make malicious changes.
Pluses: HTML 5 compatibility, address bar search function, ability to pin Web site shortcuts to taskbar in Windows 7, hardware acceleration, fast. In conclusion: With all this being said, IE9 is fast and highly usable, actually, even enjoyable to use. Looks like Microsoft has put together all their focus to give Web users good reasons to at least give IE 9 a try. All OSes.
