Internet Explorer 8 review

Dwight Silverman of the Houston Chronicle reviews Internet Explorer 8:

I really like IE8’s Accelerators. These small plug-ins automate routine tasks usually applied to blocks of highlighted text. Accelerators will send selected text via e-mail, map an address, translate a paragraph or define unfamiliar words.
I also like the way IE8 manages tabbed pages in a window. In IE8, tabs are color-coded and grouped together, making related pages easy to find.
In addition, Microsoft has made great use of the blank space that appears when you open a new tab. IE8’s new-tab page includes a history of pages visited in the current browsing session, the ability to switch to InPrivate browsing, in which all cookies and history generated within that window are deleted upon exit, and a look at the text currently stored in the Windows clipboard. This is one of my favorite features of IE8. READ THE REST

But his review wasn't all peachy. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
