The new version has a new look and it claims that it is compliant with HTML5, CSS3 and SVG2 standards and with full hardware acceleration. Internet Explorer 9 Beta has a lot of new features like new design (top tab just like chrome), a unified search and URL bar (another one from chrome), an enlarged back button (from FF),New Tab window with thumbnails that shows your most commonly-visited sites (similar to chrome).

But there’s something new that you wont find in other browser is the unique UI enhancements, new notification system (wherein a slim notificationslide up from the bottom of the screen if there’s an error or something instead of a pop-up), the unique feature of Internet Explorer 9 would be the ability to PIN a web page to your Windows taskbar. *COOL*, and some performance features.

The final version of Internet Explorer 9 would be available later this year or early 2011, no words at all as of this time.

The question is, will Internet Explorer 9 beta be as good as chrome or firefox or will it surpase it in terms of reliability and performance? we’ll see…

Google Chrome is a great alternative to Firefox for being simple, reliable and less system resources eater but one thing that stop me from using it was lack of extensions and/or plugins unlike firefox.

Google Chrome Extension Gallery with 300+ extensions was released to public late last year and it’s a good step. Might as well switch to Chrome for a change…
