So here’s a quick look at some features that Internet Explorer 8 has released in terms of security and privacy features.

Many features such as the Domain Highlighting which allows you to see the domain name on the page you are currently on to let you know what website you’re actually on, which is suppose to make it easier to spot phishing websites. Another feature included in Internet Explorer 8 is the new SmartScreen Filter which prevents websites from collecting personal information and also to prevent them from installing malware. One of the other features which have been improved in Internet Explorer 8 is Deleting the History, Cookies, and so forth in the browser. You can now tell Internet Explorer 8 what to delete and also to prevent deleting any information such as cookies or saved web pages from your bookmarks.

Now while Microsoft has said that Internet Explorer 8 has surpassed the reliability and security against Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, is the current security features really enough to protect against today’s exploits and malware? If you noticed one the new features included in the new Internet Explorer 8 which is the InPrivate Browsing, that looks like a feature familiar in Google Chrome’s Incognito Mode. While Microsoft also says that “Internet Explorer 8 is one of the fastest browsers on the market today, beating other top browsers in page load time on almost 50 percent of the 25 top ComScore Web sites.” But according to some geek testers, as well as myself, Internet Explorer 8 does beat Internet Explorer 7 speed; however, the reviewers haven’t seen a noticeable difference between Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox, Internet Explorer’s closest competitor.

Has Internet Explorer 8 really passed security and reliability than most browsers? Or has it barely caught up with the competition? While our answers are debatable, there is no doubt that it’s the most secure browser Microsoft has ever released.
