Internet Explorer review

Review for Internet Explorer 2-20-11:

MSIE has always had top marketshare. However browsers like Firefox have taken it away. I am basing this review off stable browsers so the IE9RC will not appear in this review.

I shall outline the positives and negatives:

+

*finally has multi-tabbed browsing

*has accellerators that make searching for stuff easy as selecting text, and a popup icon comes up and you can search, bing, google, and wikipedia from it. Saves time

*improved page rendering from prev. versions, however still has issues with some CSS

*improved interface from earlier versions

*now has addons but not as large of selection as firefox.

*multiprocess browsing, each tab is own process

-

*performance is still not very good as it could be

*can be more of a memory hog than firefox--->takes up way more commit charge and RAM then FF does for all those tab-processes

*still has page rendering issues and some CSS does not work

*web devs still have issues with IE

*not as many addons as firefox

*security issues

Ratings---> performance 3/5 interface 4/5 features 4/5 stability 3/5 rendering 3/5 customization 3/5
