What’s new in Internet Explorer 9?
What’s new in Internet Explorer 9?
The improvements to Internet Explorer are as much about what you don't see as what you do see. Internet Explorer 9 has a streamlined design, fewer dialog boxes to click through, more
intuitive navigation, and many new features that speed up your web
browsing experience. Features like Pinned Sites let you pin your
favorite website directly to the taskbar for one-click access. Other
features, like hardware acceleration, deliver an all-around faster
browsing experience. With Internet Explorer 9, websites perform and feel more like the programs you use every day on your PC.
Here's what's new:
Streamlined design
The first thing you'll notice when you open Internet Explorer 9 is the compact user interface. Most command bar functions, like Print
or Zoom, can now be accessed by clicking the Tools button, and your
favorites appear when you click the Favorites button. Otherwise, Internet Explorer gives you the basic controls you need, and lets the web take center stage.
Internet Explorer 9 puts the focus on the webNote If you want to
restore the Command bar, Favorites bar, and status bar, right-click to
the right of the New Tab button, and then select them on the menu.
Pinned Sites
If you visit certain webpages regularly, Pinned Sites allows you access them directly from the taskbar on your Windows 7 desktop.
Pin sites to your task bar for instant navigationPinning a site is simple: click the icon to the left of the
web address in the address bar (or the website icon on the New Tab page)
and drag it to the taskbar—the website's icon will stay there until you
remove it. When you click the icon later, the website will open in Internet Explorer.
Whenever you open a pinned site, the website icon appears at the top of the browser, so you have easy access to the
website home page. The Back and Forward buttons change color to match
the color of the icon.
Download Manager
Download Manager is a powerful new feature that keeps a running list of the files you download from the Internet and
notifies you when a file could be malicious. It also lets you pause and
restart a download—if you have a slow internet connection—and shows you
where to find downloaded files on your computer. You can clear the list
at any time.

Tabbed browsing allows you to move easily between multiple open webpages in a single window, but there might be
times when you want to look at two tabbed pages at the same time.
Tear-off tabs allow you to drag a tab out of Internet Explorer to open the tab's webpage in a new window, and Snap it for side-by-side viewing.

New Tab page
The redesigned New Tab page displays the sites you visit most often and color codes them for quick navigation. A
site indicator bar also shows how often you visit each site, and you can
remove or hide the displayed sites anytime you like.
The New Tab pageSearch in the address bar
You can now search directly from the address bar. If you enter a website's address, you'll go directly to the
website. If you enter a search term or incomplete address, you will
launch a search using the currently selected search engine. Click the
address bar to select your search engine from the listed icons or to add
new ones.
Type a search term in the address bar to find what you're looking forWhen you search from the address bar, you'll have the option of opening a search results page or the top search
result (if your search engine supports the feature). You can also get
optional search suggestions in the address bar—but they are off by
default, in case you don't want to share what you type with a search
provider.
Notification Bar
The Notification Bar that appears at the bottom of Internet Explorer gives you important status information when you need it, but it won't force you to click a series of messages to continue browsing.

Add-ons, such as toolbars, can enhance your browsing experience, but they can also slow it down. Add-on Performance
Advisor tells you if an add-on is slowing down your browser performance,
and then allow you to disable or remove it.

To speed up performance, Internet Explorer uses the power of your computer's graphics processor, also known as a
GPU, to handle graphics-heavy tasks like video streaming or online
gaming. By tapping into the GPU, Internet Explorer delivers a faster and more immersive web experience.
