With the release of their Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista a couple of weeks ago, Microsoft is now getting ready for Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1. Microsoft have revealed a full features page which lists the additions to their flagship browser Internet Explorer.

Internet Explorer 8 will get new features such as:

  • Activities
  • WebSlices
  • Favorites Bar
  • Automatic Crash Recovery
  • Improved Phishing Filter

Activities allow users to lookup/send information in a right-click contextual menu, such as retrieving an address map from Windows Live Maps, submitting a story to Digg, sharing a page on Facebook etc. WebSlices allows users to crop a specific area section of a site and bookmark it. Improvements have been made to the phishing filter which continues to block known Phishing sites and now blocks sites known to contain malicious software that could harm users’ computer or steal their information.

You can go to the official site to view more information about the Internet Explorer 8 new features.

One new feature I like which has been part of Mozilla’s Firefox browser is the Automatic Crash Recovery which it recover the tabs if your browser crash . Internet Explorer 8 is expected to be release at the 2nd quarter of this year but you can download and install it already if you want to try it.
