hey guys Sam here with my review of Internet Explorer 9 beta so guys this has just come out today I've had some time go ahead test it out and overall I'm pretty impressed with this so I'm glad to show you guys all what's new and that kind of stuff so to begin with let's take a look at the interface which is much much better and a huge step up from previous versions of Internet Explorer so as you can see here they use a lot of arrow glass which I love arrow glass it's one of my favorite things in Windows 7 so I'm really glad that they brought a lot over you can see here the tabs use it pretty much the entire interface uses it which is really really cool now as you see here they actually they've changed it quite a bit where the tab bar and the address bar are now kind of pushed together at first it really wasn't liking that I thought it's kind of you know obviously you can only fit so many tabs when you're having to share this space however the more I use it I think it's actually a pretty nice feature and of course the wider your the bigger your monitor is the better it's going to be but in general I didn't really think is a big deal you can on my monitor I can fit four tabs and of course you can go ahead and fit more and they just shrink a little bit so not a big deal at all if you actually want to come up here the now there's no more search bar now it's all it's kind of like on the Chrome on the bar or basically you can type in URL so you can also go ahead and type in searches and all works from the same window so definitely pretty cool so it works pretty well now I do want to mention it is of course a beta so there are a few issues like actually you take a look here YouTube videos for example a lot of the text is whited out I think I probably has more to do with Flash Player but yeah so there are a few bugs and glitches here and there but overall it's not too bad um so let's go and take a look at performance which is a big deal obviously now Internet Explorer or Internet Explorer in general has always been pretty slow as far as performance mean you know last few I mean I haven't at the Internet Explorer 8 was slower than pretty much anything else by a huge amount especially when you compared to something like Chrome however their new Explorer 9 does a really good job of catching up so now I will start by saying I haven't done all my tests so I usually do a lot of in-depth testing and I've really had the time to do that yet but for my shorter preliminary tests Internet Explorer 9 seems to be pretty much on par with Firefox now it's still a little bit slower than Chrome and opera not by a huge amount and it's still really pretty fast in day to day usage in addition Internet Explorer 9 also finally best support html5 so as you can see here it doesn't scored that well so we got 96 out of 300 whereas Chrome for example scores about 200 however since they're just starting out I know I can kind of forgive that they are finally getting it set up getting a lot of stuff you know working as far as html5 so it's definitely good news and it also does support GPU acceleration so for certain things actually we'll go ahead tap into your GPU on your computer it's basically make text look better games run better all kinds of stuff like that so that's definitely good news now there are a lot of features and I don't have time man I could spend quite a bit of time to go ahead talk through all of them so but one of my favorite ones is the fact that now all the tabs run as separate processes just like in Chrome so what this means is let's say you're watching YouTube and flash crashes so you know the whole normally that would go ahead and crash your entire browser well however now it would just go ahead and kill that single tab and restart it and everything else stays the same and another way where this kind of shows is that you can go ahead and pick up and tear off tabs so go ahead and me obviously move them around I can go ahead and picking them up tear them off and create a new window right here or I'm go ahead and pick this tab and drop it down and windows 7 drop it onto the taskbar so now as you can see here it actually creates a very similar to like on Chrome a application shortcut so I'm going to just click on this it will instantly open up whatever website at one and actually continue along with that Google's actually not the best example but several web sites including Facebook and Twitter you actually can go ahead if you take their site and drop it down you actually have quite a few options here so for Facebook with Twitter you might have new posts check your messages all kinds of stuff like that and it's all built in so that's definitely a pretty cool feature and definitely will make this really pretty handy I'm so guys that's just about it for my review of Internet Explorer 9 in general I'm really impressed with it and now of course it could be a little bit faster a chrome is still a decent bit faster but to be honest I'm really impressed with it I mean it's still plenty fast for day-to-day use now I'm have to live with the interface just a little bit longer I've only had for just a little bit but from my initial impressions I actually do like quite a bit the stability has been pretty good for a beta there's a lot of cool new features that wasn't able to get on - such as add-ons there's a new download manager all that kind of stuff but you can go ahead and take a look for yourself anyway guys if you're interested you can go ahead download it it is a public beta so you can go ahead and download it now is only Windows Vista and Windows 7 only so if you're still on XP you're not going to be able to get in an explore mine which is kind of a cut a little bit odd that Microsoft was the first company to quit supporting XP as far as a browser but hating that big deal so guys that way if you're interested take a look and download Internet Explorer 9 and let me know what you think in the comment section below anyway guys thanks for watching
