Internet Explorer for a long time has been a default Windows program for browsing the Internet. In recent years, developers have ceased supporting this project. However, it is available for download.

Purpose

When it comes to choosing a proper tool for browsing the Internet, there are various options that differ from one another in some respect. The appearance, response time, ease of use and functionality are some of the major aspects to be considered. Internet Explorer is a handy application for people who would like to skip benchmarks, comparative tests and simply start browsing the web.

Notable changes

If the previous versions failed to keep up with web standards and deliver the best experience to their users, this edition is set to correct that. From the start you will notice that the interface received a makeover. What is more, Internet Explorer performs better with multiple opened tabs and features a faster browsing speed.

Additionally, users received the ability to restore tabs from the last session. However, saving and managing sessions can also be done by competitor web utilities like Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

Security and add-ons

In terms of security, the program offers enhanced protection against phishing, through the SmartScreen Filter. Another plus that is worth mentioning is the new function that allows users to manage add-ons through the Tool menu.
