The browser war is heating up with the recent launches of Firefox 3, Opera 9.52 and now IE 8. Mozilla Firefox's publisher calls IE 8 Beta 2 an attempt at "catching up".
"They're playing catch-up, but I'm glad they're playing," John Lilly, Chief Publisher of Mozilla, pretty much summed it up. He was referring to the release of Microsoft's latest browser, the Internet Explorer 8, a beta version of which was released yesterday. The browser war is heating up with the recent launches of Firefox 3, Opera 9.52 and now IE 8.
The latest beta version of Microsoft's browser comes with a host of new features and aims to give an indication of what to expect when the final version is released in due course.
Please dont download IE8 via micrsoft . com... Because they are checking ,if the OS (especially XP) is legal or not... If not legal, they make some changes in the OS, that changes desktop to BLACK screen with nothing.. You can revert back with the display settings... But within half-an hour the desktop becomes BLACK/blank again... Please beware...

"Playing catch up"? Get real Mozilla. I sceptically downloaded IE8 beta, and was sure not to be impressed. But, hands down it is the best browser I have used so far. True it had stability issues (closed down a few times) after all it is a beta. But, the coloured tab mode and the additional security featuress make it a more than worthy competitor to firefox 3. Oh and the privacy mode too !! Add to it the fact that most sites work well only with IE, and a casual surfer will not need any other browser.
