Internet Explorer 9 launched just a couple of days ago and over the first 24 hours, received over 2.3 million downloads. The new version of the browser which is supposed to better compete with the likes of Chrome and Firefox, is much more streamlined and unlike IE8, tabs located right next to the address bar. Menus, which were minimized in the last version, are now shuffled to the top right hand corner with icons of a house (home), a star (history, feeds, etc…) and a wheel icon (tools). In addition, messages about the browser pop under, rather than a mid-screen pop-up which again, minimizes the interuption of Internet browsing. As for issues, there are reports of some sites forwarding to mobile versions. So, readers:
