14 DAY TRIAL // Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) is the most used browser on Windwos 7 in the United States, and is aspiring for the worldwide title as well.
This is so mainly due to the great choices it provides users with when it comes to speed, security and reliability. Moreover, it also focuses on keeping users’ data private while they browse the Internet.
“We build IE for customers who use Windows. IE9 is the browser designed to give Windows 7 customers the fastest, safest, and most private browsing experience – putting the focus on the thing that matters most – your favorite sites,” Ryan Gavin, general manager, Internet Explorer business and marketing, notes.
Users’ privacy when online has been a great concern lately, and Microsoft is keen on assuring users that they have nothing to fear when using its Internet Explorer 9 browser to access their favorite sites.
“Browse without being browsed. If keeping your personal information private online is important to you, Internet Explorer is the browser that respects your privacy and puts you in charge,” Ryan Gavin explains.
“By using Tracking Protection and the other privacy features in IE9, you are in control of who is tracking your actions online – not advertisers.”
Clearly, this mentioning of privacy is another hit at Google. The Mountain View-based company has recently announced a set of changes to its privacy policies, and Microsoft claims that they are, in fact, restricting users’ control over their online identities.
In addition to keeping things private, IE9 is also capable of keeping users away from online threats, and it can do so better than any other browser available at the moment for Windows 7.
At the same time, the browser can deliver the speed and performance levels that users are seeking in such an application.
“When you browse with Internet Explorer 9, your favorite sites load crazy fast – faster than two other well-known browsers according to recent real world site performance tests from Laptop magazine and Strangeloop web development firm,” Ryan Gavin notes.
“As we have said before, we believe real world scenarios around page load times are the right way to measure how you experience a faster Web while you browse.”
With IE9, users can also pin websites to the Windows 7 taskbar to access them instantly. And there is also the support for HTML5 and industry-leading hardware acceleration, which makes the web seem more beautiful.
“Whether it is the addictive gameplay of Cut the Rope or a truly immersive way for music fans to enjoy the band they love, we give developers a platform to push the limits of what was previously thought possible and push their creativity,” Gavin concludes.
