![]() ![]() Watch out: the browser wars just got exciting again.īy Anonymous reviewed on November 13, 2010 In all, the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 is faster and prettier than its predecessors - and really throws down the gauntlet to its competitors. New features like hang recovery and InPrivate Filtering provide Internet Explorer a stabler and more secure web experience than most other browsers. IE 9 features decent support for HTML 5 (the new generation of media-rich websites use this language), and now finishes the Acid 3 test with a near-perfect 95/100. Internet Explorer 9 also offers improved speed and performance, as well as better compliance with web standards and new technologies. The new Performance Advisor add-on identifies add-ons that are slowing Internet Explorer down (a feature badly needed in Mozilla Firefox). IE 9 also lets you 'pin' websites to the Superbar and allows you to bookmark your favorite websites as 'applications' in your OS. Microsoft Edge may be the cat’s meow (how’s that for dating myself) but it appears to me to be inserting itself unbidden in my 7 Pro system where my Chrome and Firefox are functioning just fine! How do I eliminate this ongoing intrusion? And, why is the “new and improved” MS Edge trying to do anything in such an obsolete system as mine, when I did not invite it in.Among the new features included in Internet Explorer 9 are better integration with the Windows operating system and a seriously beefed-up security system.

My system has been built dating back from the days of DOS. ![]() Ain’t gona’ happen as I do not have the time and knowledge to restore a computer, files and legacy programs overwritten by a new OS. Suddenly here in June 2020 Microsoft Edge is popping up every time I attempt to browse with Chrome, virtually demanding I upgrade to Windows 10. ![]()
