Apprising the Features of Internet Explorer 10

February 8, 2013

Microsoft has really pulled out all the stops for their prized Windows 8 operating system. Among the many developments tied to Windows 8 was the launch of the all-new Internet Explorer 10. Indeed, on first glance, the new browser bears facets analogous to the new operating system like compatibility with Windows 8 applications and touch-friendly functionalities. The desktop iteration, however, seems similar to that of Internet Explorer 9. Nevertheless, here’s a detailed look at Internet Explorer 10’s chief attributes:

Top Features of Internet Explorer 10

1. Revamped Interface

Internet Explorer 10 manifests a reinvigorated interface as described below:

a) The browser appears vibrant, colorful, and primed for full screen display giving users a more immersive surfing experience.

b) One can operate the browser and routinely surf the internet either by mouse clicks (on traditional PC systems) or via swipes (on modern mobile devices).

c) The aforementioned actions bring forth:

  • Sizable thumbnails of currently opened tabs along with the address bar (if one activates the center of the screen) and
  • A “charms” menu and options to change applications (if one activates the sides of the screen).

d) The thumbnails and address bar house additional controls that include options for opening tabs, closing tabs, home navigation, pasting links, going forward, refreshing pages, favorite marking, viewing history, and more. The charm menu enables users to locate content and share bookmarks with other users.

e) Regarding mouse clicks, there are a few changes. Firstly, helpful screen arrows are displayed to caution users not to navigate too close to the screen’s sides (for fear of invoking unwarranted options). Also right-clicking, sadly to some, offers fewer choices (mainly those pertaining to copying, opening links, and saving images).

2. Touch-Receptive Enhancements

As indicated earlier Internet Explorer 10 offers touch support to aid smartphone and tablet users of the Windows 8 operating system. Apart from the touch-enabled features mentioned earlier, users can swipe sideways to proceed further or go back in webpages. Users can also partake of the strengthened zooming function that encompasses pinch and “reverse pinch” support.

3. Speedier and More Robust Functioning

Microsoft’s new browser is decidedly swifter; this speed is helped by heightened HTML5 support and new hardware acceleration settings. In fact, the browser compared favorably with other popular competitors in recently conducted online tests.

4. Altered Settings Menu

Internet Explorer 10 slightly changes options for settings (depicted by the wrench icon). Now – through the settings – users may procure new apps, locate data on the current web page, and view windows on their desktop.

5. Security Improvements

The new browser is armed with the ensuing security arsenal:

a) Advanced protection standards that safeguards users from dangerous downloading and viruses.

b) A unique “Enhanced Protected Mode” that sequesters plugins and prevents unwarranted access to precious files stored on users’ systems.

c) A private browsing function that temporarily disables the preservation of cookies as well as the download and surfing histories.

d) A default do-not-track operation.

e)More comprehensive pop-up control.

6. Flip Ahead

A distinctive “Flip Ahead” functionality has been added that enables users to easily navigate through online documents comprising numerous pages. One can activate this feature in the “browsing” option of the Internet Properties menu.

Bottom-Line : As users “explore” the new browser, they are sure to unearth other likeable features.
