Hey guys,
Who's had chance to try the second BETA of IE8?
Apparently new features include Crash Recovery and private browsing, sounds like Microsoft are making a reply to the newly released Google Chrome.
It also claims to have vastly improved its standards support, something that every web designer and developer must have had frustrations with IE over the years! Lead program manager from MS, Doug Stamper had this to say in a recent interview, "We're now CSS 2.1 property complete, meaning we've implemented every property in CSS 2.1 and are closing in on our goal of complete support for the CSS 2.1 specification by the time we release."
IE8 promised to be more stable, like Chrome, it uses multiple processes to run each individual browsing tab, meaning if one tab goes down it doesn't crash the whole browser window. All we need now is for a forced update for IE6 users!
