Please see the user reviews from different site:

Source : reviews.cnet.com

Pros: This version of Internet Explorer is a lot better, slightly faster than 7. It looks a lot more organized, and it has a lot of options.
Cons: It's still a little bit slow.


Pros: IE8 Beta 2, very solid program. I'm an average PC user, and have replaced IE7 with
IE8........have tested it for a few hours, no problems.
Cons: The most stablest IE that I have used. Running Vista Prem for the record.
No complaints

Pros: Crash recovery
Crashes in a tab are located only in that tab and not the whole browser
Color grouping tabs
Faster web browsing
Cons: Text typing is painfully slow on some sites
Resource hoggish
Some sites dont display right but are fixed with the compat button

Pros: The tabs are tranquil to behold at.InPrivate browsing is loftily touted.Better and stringent security which stimulates me vitally.Faster Internet browsing.Works literally well of add-ons. Microsoft is a trusted one to upgrade on IE.
Cons: Genuinely nothing to have animosity of it,as IE had been altered into a unprecedented and novel one.

Pros: The colour coding is great as are all the details provided when a new tab is opened.
No crashes to report very solid for a beta product.
Cons: None so far

Pros: Very stable, Inprivate browsing and blocking very useful, Tab color and group colors are pleasing to eyes, accelerators EXTREMELY useful... and its still beta! The final will overtake ff i'm sure! I've already switched to it happily!
Cons: Minor compatibility issues with some sites but gets fixed by compatibility view

Pros: New features really speed up browsing, this is the first revolution of browsing activities since tabs. Accelerators are awsome, especialy if you use Live Services already (which you should).
Cons: No issues to date

It's perhaps not surprising that if you're interested in testing the abilities of the upcoming version of IE, you might also fall in the category of people who still need to support (and hence download) earlier versions of IE. Of course, that support likely involves a lot of swearing and spitting, but at least they offer you a copy to curse over.


Firebug? Firebug??? Within the past year I've worked on debugging javascript across several browsers. I used Visual Studio (ie7), Firebug (ff), Venkman (NN, lol bye), and for Opera... oh, wait, there isn't one for Opera. Anyhow, Venkman sucked cock. I hate to say it in such vulgar terms, but it did, and for beer money. It refused to work half the time, and the other half of the time it couldn't remember what line you were currently on. And the UI was a nightmare. Firebug wasn't much better. It also had a hard time keeping track of the current line, and would CONSTANTLY crash after a few minutes of work. It did this in two different installs on two different machines. The UI was a big improvement, but for debugging javascript it was almost worthless. VS was, of course, the best. Worked flawlessly all the time, although it only could be used with IE. Its also a pretty heavyweight debugger, requiring a pretty big download for the Express edition. But, goddamnit, it WORKED. And when you're struggling with oddball javascript errors, you need a debugger that just fken works.


One thing that is in ie7 but seems to be missing in ie8 is the icon on the RSS tab. In ie7 this icon changes when one or more of the feeds are updated but there is nothing to tell you that feeds are updated on ie8. You have to scroll the list which can be a little annoying.


Hey a guy, IE 8 Beta 2 is coming soon….. It has got many features like 1. Better Crash Recovery tool 2. Better java script performance 3. Better startup performance 4. Better security 5. Many Bug fixed and more…..
