Ie 11 for windows 8 64 bit free download

Internet Explorer 11 tries to boast that it’s an overall faster browser. This claim doesn’t hold against the likes of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, but it is true when Internet Explorer 11 is compared to its older versions. For starters, this browser has low system requirements—a MHz processor, MB of RAM, a Super VGA graphics adapter, and 70MB of hard disk space—so it’s not a huge strain on older computers. When you first run it, you also don’t have to sign into any account like with Chrome. All you have to do is choose the security settings you want and simply start browsing, which is a great improvement since previous versions would constantly pester you about it every time you open Internet Explorer up. Additionally, Internet Explorer 11 now loads sites and content in the background to optimize its performance.

Interfaces have always been simple, if not plain, in Internet Explorer. This last version still keeps the tradition alive, but this time, it gets trimmed down even more to make space for webpage content and its other interface features. The address bar and search box have now been combined and this new feature called “One Box” is squished next to your tabs. You can enlarge it if it ever feels too small. The tabs and new tabs can now be customized with what they’ll display for you. Pinning sites is cool to do by just simply dragging a webpage's icon down to the Windows taskbar. Surprisingly, though, along with the tradition of simple interfaces, Internet Explorer 11 still supports old coding that modern browsers no longer do. This is why Internet Explorer is still so popular with a lot of businesses using Windows 7. No matter what Microsoft does with promoting Edge as the better browser, as long as legacy features still exist online, Internet Explorer 11 will still be of use. 

Unfortunately, despite all of these positive additions, Internet Explorer 11 disabled a lot of old features, as well—some that will be missed. There’s no more tabbed browsing, automatic recovery from page layout errors with Compatibility View, and the choice to enable websites to use the search pane. You also don’t get device syncing and multi-user perks, especially for Windows 7. Internet Explorer 11 is a better option over previous versions, but other browsers are much better choices—even Microsoft Edge because Internet Explorer 11 won’t have any huge updates anymore. If you’re constantly using old websites that haven’t changed coding yet, however, Internet Explorer 11 may be of great help to you.
