it's taken years for internet explorer fans can breathe a sigh of relief and rejoice at the fact that their favorite brows are no longer Sun hi I'm Seth Rosenblatt prasena and today we're taking a look at what's hot and what's not in Internet Explorer 10 IE 10 comes in two flavors on Windows 8 Metro mode and desktop mode IE 10 desktop mode is basically identical to what you'll see for IE 10 on windows 7 something that you've got to know about IE 10 on Windows 8 though is that touch is simply put fantastic websites feel like mobile apps in Metro mode the interface is hidden until you swipe towards the center your tab bar lives on top and your location bar is on the bottom there's a new feature called flip ahead which when it's activated lets you skip to the next page of a multi-page story or gallery automatically there are big tabs and icons in the IE 10 frequently visited and favorites in IE 10 live just above the location bar a new change and pin sites in IE 10 allows you to pin a tile into the Windows 8 Start screen IE 10 can also automatically detect when a site has a complimentary Windows 8 app like Bing ie 10 is blazingly fast and it has very good privacy protection thanks to do not track being on by default and it's tracking protection lists which are available in desktop mode security is strong in IE 10 thanks to smart screen which scans or downloads before you run them not all is perfect on IE 10 though it works only on windows 7 and 8 the three of you still using Vista you're stuck on IE 9 and people still on windows XP or as I like to call them the phalanx of The Walking Dead can only get up to IE 8 like the rest of Windows 8 some preferences in IE 10 are in Metro but all of them are in desktop that's a little bit confusing pin sites are not like bookmarks if you change your default browser they still open in IE and frequently visited and favorites appear horizontally making it difficult for people who've got a ton of the despite its flaws ie10 is the best browser that Microsoft has ever made Bar None it's got the best Windows 8 integration around which is very important however we'd like to see some more refinements before we recommend it more enthusiastically we've seen that I'm Seth Rosenblatt
