Internet Explorer 9: A visual tour

The public beta of Internet Explorer 9 is here. Have a look at some of the changes and new features it introduces.

The Main Browser Window

IE 9's main browser window takes minimalism to a new level. A simple toolbar that stretches across the top accommodates the address/search bar (which Microsoft calls the OneBox), any tabs that you may have opened, and a handful of buttons on the far right edge. Aside from the notification bar--which appears at the bottom of the window as needed--the rest of the window is dedicated (by default) to displaying Web pages.
