Internet Explorer 8 - Beta

Posted on 2:34pm 3/06/2008 by Bruno Silva in Software

Here I leave my first thoughts about IE8.

First of all, I’m pretty disappointed that IE team is still attached to the old search popup window… It is time to leave it behind and use a search like Firefox or some IE7 plugins.

In some websites I have problems with text selection. In the following picture I was trying to select the text after the “seminar” word… Awkward.

I really like the activities functionality. You select some text and an arrow appears to use the highlighted text to perform an activity. The arrow does not appear in all the text though…

Another problem that I had took place while I was debugging an ASP.NET application in Visual Studio. An Javascript error message appeared, and every time that I choosed not to debug, the same window would appear again in a endless loop.

Keep working in this software IE team. :) I would enjoy to use a nice Internet Explorer version, maybe somewhere in the future I leave Firefox to use IE as my primary browser (or maybe not… I just love some extensions)
