Internet Explorer 9 Logo

Yesterday Microsoft released Internet Explorer 9 for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

I worked with the beta and the release candidate of Internet Explorer 9 and I think its a huge difference between IE8 and IE9. Internet Explorer 9 feels much faster as the previous versions of Internet Explorer and even some competitors.

I think this are the best features and of Internet Explorer 9

  • better performance
  • Integration in Windows 7 (Jump List etc)
  • HTML5 integration
  • Clean Design

This makes Websites feeling more like real desktop applications, and I don’t think other browsers can do that.

Safari 5

Apple just released version 5 of Safari. I work with Safari as my default browser since version 4. I use Safari because its one of the fastest and best integrated browsers out there. It’s not just the speed when you load a webpage, its how fast the browser feels if you open it or you open a new window or tab. It makes working so much easier.

The only thing I missed were extensions for it. Now Apple not just made Safari faster and added better Support for HTML5, they also added extensions. I could not be happier about that. Two days after the Safari 5 release there are a lot of extensions out there. You can find some on http://safariextensions.tumblr.com.

Btw, the integrated developer tools for web developers are just awesome. A lot of colleges in my company changed their default browser from Firefox, Chrome or even Internet Explorer to Safari 5.
