Internet Explorer 9 Beta

Microsoft recently released a beta of Internet Explorer 9. I’ve used it a little and have some initial impressions. Overall, it’s a much-needed improvement over 8. It’s a cross between Firefox and Chrome, incorporating features from each, although there are some 8 leftovers. The look is simple and clean and comes off as much more lightweight. It’s a pleasure to see and to use. The address bar and tabs area were set horizontally adjacent to each other.

Safari Extensions

Despite wanting Firefox-like extensions for Safari, I only just tried Safari extensions. Gentle Status Bar and Middle-Click AutoScroll add Chrome-like behavior. AdBlock is a necessity for any clean experience. Delicous, Instapaper, and Add To Google Reader are invaluable when finding things to go back to. Add To Amazon Wish List is a good idea, but I sense it’s naively implemented.
