Microsoft has added some really great features in Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) which makes it much better than Internet explorer 7 i.e IE7. So have a look at top five features in Internet Explorer 8 with which you can really have great surfing experience.

1: Compatibility view: Microsoft has introduced a compatibility view option in IE8 for the websites which are not compatible with IE8. This feature allows you to view websites (which are not compatible with IE8) on a previous version of Internet Explorer i.e IE7. Compatibility view option is located next to the address bar just before stop button.

2: Web slices: Web slices keeps you updated with a particular section or part of a web page instead of complete website. When you are subscribed to a web slice (such as facebook status updates) you will be able to see the updated content as a link on favourites bar.

3: Accelerators: You can really make your browsing session a efficient one with this feature of IE8. With this feature you can perform some everyday browsing tasks like translating a word or a line, mapping an address etc. without opening a new window or any new tab. Just highlight a word or a line and you will see a accelerator icon, click on it and it will give you a list of options that you can perform for your selection.
