A new version of Firefox, IE fight-USA Today

On Tuesday, has released the Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, the latest version of the venerable Web browser. Rival Mozilla just revealed the all but official version of Firefox 4. They both go against Google Chrome always fast and sparse, which was recently updated to version 10. IE, a 57% market share, according to Net Applications, and Add-ons, with almost 22%, are no 1 and no 2. Are browsers I focused on this review and have market shares well before Chrome (about 11%), Apple Safari, and Opera (6%), Europe (2%). But once Microsoft's dominant position has declined continuously for years.People for the modern browsers tout speed; easier navigation, add-ons and extensions; and safety. Point out IE9, Firefox 4, and Chrome 10 flashy embrace Web standards, such as for HTML5.Of course, people often use what is convenient (the default browser on your computer). But even so, those who are überpassionate, about which browser will rely on.I was six months ago, when I first reviewed, but i like enormously impressed IE9 beta. I'm still. The Software is a refreshing jump forward for browser franchise, which has become obsolete. IE9 is a quick and efficient. Web application acts as an application on your computer. Indeed they are blurring the lines.IE9 allows you to "pin" or Park, icons for Windows 7 task bar (the strip of icons at the bottom of the screen). Click on the icon opens the linked Web sites or applications without separately run the browser. If you right-click the icon of the parked location menu appears on the handy shortcuts for certain Web sites what Microsoft calls "Jump lists."Right-click the icon for the Pandora brings, for example, keyboard shortcuts, which enable you to go to the music search Web page or Pandora blog. List of leap for US today, leads to the keyboard shortcuts for the different parts of the paper. Another nice feature of Windows 7: you can "tear" Web page of IE9, drag its tab. If you drag onto the page completely on the left side of the screen, drag a second torn completely to the right of the Web page from the browser, you can compare side by side.Microsoft now performs another backup. One area of emphasis is the monitoring of protection. At the core of this initiative, the monitoring of the protection of privacy: lists, which are a little Web equivalents "do not call" lists aimed at traders. IE9 user can add the lists drawn up by private organizations. Projects are in the right place, these lists are, of course, not perfect.Microsoft added to these lists with not-track user preferences, which effectively sends to the web, that, well, you don't want to be monitored. But it relies on the honesty and integrity of the site for your wishes. Mozilla Firefox 4 and Google Chrome are also backing not-track mechanisms (which the Federal Trade Commission thoroughly monitor). Mozilla promotes universal standard not-track, which would prevent the web site, to track your visit is for advertising purposes.The main drawback for IE9 remains: it won't work for computers running Windows XP, and is still there. And IE9 is compatible with Windows Vista, is actually optimized for use on computers running Windows 7. Firefox 4 has a cleaner interface and simplified menu, with a view to maintaining its focus on the content at hand. Home button is in the upper right of the browser. Cards for the open Web pages sit on Mozilla as a super refers to the Bar – this is where you enter into the conditions, which would you target a Web site that you don't have to remember a Web address or URL. However, Firefox is the only one of the three browsers maintain a separate, dedicated search box--so more reducing than his rivals.You can also easily create a program cards attached to the top of the browser, each representing a Web-based applications, which often call upon, such as Gmail. Mozilla also improved Friendly 4 Add-ons you find and install Add-ons, from the collection numbering more than 200 000. Not all Add-ons 4 changes are intuitive. He was confused by the panorama function, which is easily onto related tabs into manageable groups.You can also synchronize your Firefox history, bookmarks, add-ons, bookmarks and passwords across multiple computers using Firefox 4 beta mobile synchronization, but for the moment is limited to Android Smartphones and tablets and Smartphones, the Nokia N900. IE9 is not synchronous.Mozilla says new Firefox is six times faster than previous versions, and it looked like. Browser innovation can lead to industry gripes. But it also leads to positive results for all of us who spend time in cyberspace.E-mail: ebaig@usatoday.comTHE BOTTOM LINEMicrosoft Internet Explorer 9www.beautyoftheweb.comthree and a half stars (out of four)For.
