Microsoft IE9 ready for download

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) has just been made available for download a few hours ago. First came out into beta back in September 2010, Microsoft’s IE9 supports HTML5 and comes with a lot of bells and whistles.

Some of the features included in IE9 aren’t really new and have long been available in other browsers like Google’s Chrome.

And as I’ve said before

The new IE9 feels faster, looks cleaner and more integrated (design-wise) to Windows 7. So far, I’m a somewhat impressed with the additional bells and whistles. It’s like Chrome + ActiveX = IE9. The address bar also serves as search box.

It’s got a smaller footprint too and event he installation file is just 18MB (though Firefox is only around 8MB and Flock is 13MB). I was pretty interested with the HTML5/CSS3 support and the web app approach which is something I’m planning to include in the upcoming re-design of this blog.

And just like what Chrome does, each tab of IE9 runs as a separate process so even if a windows freezes up or crashes, you can close it and the other windows will remain open and running just fine.

Go check it out here and see if the new YugaTech theme.

    Tried it, and it doesn’t work with my favorite site, Quora – http://www.quora.com

    So I’m keeping it just for the one site that requires it – Microsoft Outlook Web Access for Exchange Server.

    Internet Explorer is very easy to use and most of the people are using i.e. around the World. I think i.e. 9 will be faster than 8.
