This is great, for example, if you want to see two tabs at the same time. Simply bring up two IE windows on the screen and click, hold, and drag a tab over to the other IE window. But now you can also move them to another IE window. You’ve already been able to change the tab order by dragging them to another position. Clicking tabs is much more quick and easy. As you probably know, it is very useful and saves time from having to go between different IE windows. Internet Explorer has featured tabbed browsing for some time now. If you have a lot of downloads you might want to use the search feature. You can see the file locations and open them if you want. Any files still downloading can be paused and resumed. As Figure 5 shows, you’ll see a list of the files you’ve downloaded. Click the Tools icon and select View Downloads. Internet Explorer now has a Download Manager similar to those other browsers have had for a while. You might not even realize some add-ons are installed with other software. So consider disabling some or all, especially those you don’t use. Add-ons with errors or issues can cause even more of a problem. If you had add-ons installed on the previous version of IE, you might be prompted to disable them to speed up startup and browsing. I still get periodic hang-ups and tab restarts. Personally, opening IE 9 does seems a bit more quick but I haven’t noticed any change in browsing. Hardware acceleration along with a new JavaScript engine, called Chakra, should help browsing quality and performance. Microsoft claims IE 9 installs, starts, and runs faster. Improvements that you can’t see can be just as, or more, important as those visual changes.
