When you leave an InPrivate browsing session, all the data for that session like cookies and temporary files are automatically deleted without touching the data that were not done in the InPrivate sessions. Alterations were also done on the URL bar that gives you info on different categories like history and favorites as you type. IE8 also does domain highlighting which lets you see if the site you are visiting is the real deal or a fake one.
It would even highlight the protocol whenever you use SSL so that you are sure that your data is secure. Tabbed browsing has also been improved allowing users to group multiple tabs. Security has also been upgraded with IE8 via Smart filter, the new and improved anti-phishing filter for the Internet Explorer.
The only problem that might arise with IE8 is that it is not as backwards compatible as it should be and some pages that were created for IE7 might not render correctly in IE8. Summary: 1. Address Bar improvements with domain highlighting are done in IE8.
Pages made for IE7 may not render correctly in IE8. Applying the value inherit to a property allows an element to inherit the computed value for that property from its containing element. IE6 and IE7 do not support the value inherit except when applied to the direction and visibility properties.
This property, which only applies to elements that have their display property set to table-cell , allows empty cells to be rendered with their borders and backgrounds, or else hidden. This property allows a table caption to appear at the bottom of a table, instead of at the top, which is the default. Interestingly, this property works in IE6 and IE7 if the deprecated comma-less syntax is used i.
The orphans property specifies the minimum number of lines to display at the bottom of a printed page. The widows property specifies the minimum number of lines to display at the top of a printed page. This property is preferable to the border property since it does not affect document flow, thus better aiding debugging of layout issues.
The display property is usually set to block , inline , or none. Alternative values include:. The pre-line value for the white-space property specifies that multiple whitespace elements collapse into a single space, while allowing explicitly set line breaks. The pre-wrap value for the white-space property specifies that multiple whitespace elements do not collapse into a single space, while allowing explicitly set line breaks.
A media type for an imported style sheet is declared after the location of the style sheet, as in the example above. Although IE6 and IE7 support import , they fail when a media type is specified, causing the entire import rule to be ignored.
This CSS technique allows auto-incrementing numbers to appear before specified elements, and is used in conjunction with the before pseudo-element. Search Suggestions — As you type words in the search box, the browser automatically offers relevant suggestions to you. This greatly helps in saving time.
Accelerators — IE 8 also employs the use of accelerators. By using accelerators, you can easily perform your browsing jobs without even navigating to websites. Increased performance — The performance of the browser has been improved drastically specially in the areas that matter the most. The pages load more quickly as the script engine that is running the browser is made faster than the previous versions.
Address Bar — With smarter address bar, you no longer need to type the entire URL of the website that you have already visited rather just type-in few characters of the website and as the browser searches your Favorites, RSS feeds and history, the address of the website is shown to you so that you can easily navigate to the corresponding website.

All I know is about the meta tag to opt in to non IE7 rendering mode but I'd like to hear someone elaborate on it — alex. You just downloaded it, fine.
But did you only just now hear about it? No, he's heard about it for a while, but every time he asked about the differences someone gave him a lot of unwarrented grief about it, and he hasn't been able to get a response yet. There is a Microsoft tool that allows you to view documents in different IE rendering engines - well worth seeking out. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.
