Microsoft quietly released Internet Explorer 8 last week without the usual fanfare that goes with a new Internet Explorer release. With that in mind reviews have been fairly slim on the ground but that’s not surprising. The fact of the matter is that the latest incarnation of IE just doesn’t bring much new to the table. The major improvements according to Microsoft’s own web site are around catching up with Firefox and the other web browsers in the areas of security and privacy and some minor UI additions to make browsing a bit better. Which I must say are quite nifty but definitely not ground breaking with most features being available through various third party plugins.

Webslug: New Features Launched Today
Friday, September 12th, 2008Just a brief note to mention that Webslug now has some new features.
- Paging of fastest and slowest site lists. Now you can find out where your site sits
- Fastest Browser list. How compare Chrome vs Firefox. Actually it seems as if it’s faster
- Fastest operating systems. It seems that Mac is quicker to load web pages. Who would have guessed that Win98 is the slowest?
That’s it for the moment. If you’re interested in what’s coming up for Webslug, check out the TODO list.
