- 10. Security Internet Explorer uses a zone-based securitmework that groups sites based on certain conditions, including whether it is an Internet- or intranet-based site as well as a user-editable whitelist. restrictions are applied per zone; all the sites in a zone are subject to the restrictions. 1) Power Saving Features You might not be aware of this, but Internet Explorer allows you to squeeze a bit more juice from your battery, when running unplugged. You get less hardware acceleration while browsing, without making things terribly slow and a bit more battery time.
- 11. If you follow the tech news on a regular basis, you definitely learned about Internet Explorer being declared the most secure browser or, at least an important contender to the title. The last debate, found here: Browser Study Sheds Light On Firefox's Insecurity (And Google Approves This Message), considers Google Chrome and Internet Explorer as being the top two contenders for the title. 2.Improved security
- 12. 3. Pinning Websites to the Windows Taskbar or the Start Menu. This feature is not new and it has been adopted by some browsers, such as Google Chrome. However, I consider it useful and I think all browsers should offer such capabilities to their users
- 13. 4.Visual Search Providers. One of the features I love most in Internet Explorer is the ability to install and use visual search provides. They allow you not only to see suggestions for your searches but they are also accompanied by a visual preview that includes a picture and some text description.
- 14. I am useful I am useless Free to download at no cost. Offers every help option ,includes direct support through telephone, Email. Provides speed and functionality. Easy to use. Mostly used throughout the World. Pros Bugs come in IE (Internet Explorer) users at different times and fixing them is time consuming. Microsoft is unaware of finding any bugs hidden within the browser to fix. Installation on software such as Adobe Flash Player can be slow and has to be done manually sometimes. Lack of security in ActiveX controls. Lack of built in features to synchronize bookmarks. Cons
