Welcome back!
Internet Explorer Beta 2 has been finally released for public download and unlike the Beta 1, the new IE8 Beta 2 is focused more towards users and brings a whole new set of unique features such as:
Smart Address Bar which makes users open previously browsed sites by just typing a portion of it.- Improved Smart Tabs which groups same sites together using color codes, like the Colorful Tabs add-on in Firefox.
- Streamlined Finding Option which is streamlined just like in Firefox.
- Accelerators and WebSlices that you can directly access from the webpage, letting you bookmark, email, map, and many more with simple selection.
- The new Visual Search Suggestions makes IE8 more interesting.
Microsoft has been trying its best to regain its lost popularity compared to other browsers like Firefox and Opera. It may now, however, be able to give a tough challenge with the introduction of IE8 and hence be able to stay stable in this ongoing browser war.
It supports 32bit and 64bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 and you can download IE8 Beta 2 using this link: http://www.microsoft.com/ie8
However, before downloading, be aware that you’ll have to upgrade your current add-ons like StumbleUpon Toolbar, Alexa Toolbar, Google Toolbar, etc. after you upgrade your IE to IE8 Beta2.

I have had a lot of problems using IE. Even entrecard site doesnt work very well on IE. Is it just my experience or do you also face the same. I like to use Firefox but also use IE. I like to be on two different proxies in my office because the speeds vary, and that is only possible if I am on two different browsers.
When it comes to Entrecard, I’ve found Firefox to be the best. I’ve always found IE to be slow, that’s my experience too. But let’s see what IE8 can offer. I usually open 10 browsers to 20 browsers while doing the EC Drops on Firefox and had I opened that in IE, I’m sure it would’ve hung the computer anyway.
I recommend everyone to use Firefox and not IE! I haven’t try the new IE8 beta, but I’m pretty sure it will suck!
Haha,no thanks internet explorer.Firefox is the Best.
