Chapter 5. Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer has long been the most popular browser in the world, but before the launch of Windows Vista, it had became the most maligned browser in the world as well. There’s good reason for that. Although newer browsers such as Firefox continually added new features such as tabbed browsing and security help, Internet Explorer changed little from version to version. It began to look down at the heels—and worse, it was becoming less useful than Firefox and other browsers.
The launch of Windows Vista changed all that. Microsoft took the opportunity to give Internet Explorer a thoroughgoing makeover, and it is a success. The Vista-based browser now includes tabbed browsing, plenty of security features, and a more modern, streamlined interface, making it easier than ever to use.
This chapter offers a guide to all of Internet Explorer’s most valuable features and shows you how to customize them. It doesn’t, however, cover general Internet features, such as adding a new connection or troubleshooting connections. For that, turn to Chapter 7.
