Part I: Better Everyday Browsing
Hi, my name is Paul Cutsinger and I’m the Lead Program Manager for the IE8 User Experience.
As Dean mentioned in his beta 2 announcement post, for IE8 we focused on improving people’s everyday browsing experience – what they do all the time. We looked closely at what people do and how they do it to design ways to make their browsing even better. For all of the top usage patterns, we looked for ways to reduce steps, introduce new capabilities, and improve on how people actually browse.
In this post, I’ll discuss a small sampling of IE8’s new features that make everyday browsing faster and easier. Future posts will cover each of these, and other, features in more depth.
Smart Address Bar
Based on our observations of IE7 and IE8 Beta 1 usage, we learned that roughly 80% of the time people’s destination on the web is a previously visited site. In the past, people would use their Favorites or History, or they’d just go through all the steps to navigate to the website again.
The Smart Address Bar enables you to find Favorites and sites in your history by just typing a few letters. That’s much fewer steps than using the Favorites and History center. We also added the capability to search the title, web address and even folders for those who have organized their favorites. This means that you’ll find sites even if type something other than just the first part of the web address. To make it easier to find what you’re looking for, we group the results and highlight the matched text.
Favorites Bar
One click access is ideal for the sites and information you want frequently and you can use the Favorites Bar to do this. You can now add favorites, feeds, Web Slices and folders to the Favorites Bar for one click access. It’s also one click to add a favorite to the Favorites Bar.
Many people make a habit of checking back on certain sites like email, auctions, news and blogs many times a day. Well, it’s great that these can be just one click from the Favorites Bar but, it’s really only interesting to see these pages when they’ve changed. So, feeds and Web Slices will turn bold, like an unread email, when there’s something new to see. Now you’ll know that there will be something interesting even before you click.
New Tab Page
When people open a new tab, they’re about to go to a website. So, we looked for ways to make that as fast and easy as possible. They could use the address bar or the Favorites Bar. They could also use the Search Box with its Visual Search suggestions new to Beta 2. Those are all great ways to go to a website. While studying usage patterns, we found a few other opportunities to refine the experience even more. Now, from the new tab page, you can immediately start common navigation tasks like reopening a closed tab or starting an InPrivate Browsing session.
All of these come together to help you get to the websites you want with the fewest possible steps and without needing to hunt through the menus to figure out how.
Tab Grouping
We’re seeing an emerging tab trend where people open several pages so they can read them later. For example, they might be reading a news article or blog and then they open some of the links in new tabs as they go so they can finish reading and easily come back when they’re done to read the related pages.
We love tab browsing, but it’s easy to get confused where all the tabs came from. IE8 opens keeps these pages grouped together and color codes them. As you close tabs in a group, IE takes you to the next one in the group; similarly, if you open more tabs from the first site, IE appends them to the group rather than adding them to the end of all the tabs. With this, it’s easy to read and use all the related pages together. We’ll be blogging in more detail about this feature (and others) over the next few days.
Find on Page
We’d heard from many, many users that the Find dialog in IE6 and IE7 was always getting in the way, making it hard to actually find content on the page. So, we’ve added a Find bar at the top of the page (finally!) that lets you more easily find content on the page.
This is an example of how we’ve simplified experiences to remove subtle but significant extra user effort.
Faster and Easier throughout the product
As you use the beta and read the deeper feature blog posts, you’ll see more examples of how we made browsing easier like how we highlight the domain in the address bar for quick visual scanning. You’ll also see how we made browsing even better with service connected features like Visual Search, Accelerators, and Web Slices in part 2 of this post.
I hope you’ll enjoy how much faster and easier browsing is with IE8. I look forward to hearing your feedback on the beta.

It's interesting that you created these features because of research. Most of the new features have been in Firefox for quite a while, and you make out that it was all your idea. I just wish Microsoft would innovate more and lead the market instead of coping every other browser! That said I'm glad your catching up as these are needed features.Anonymous
August 28, 2008
@Cameron I agree that some of this features were available on Firefox. However, many of them already exsited for IE as a plug-in and there were a lot of browers based on IE brower controls with very rich features. You really don't thing FF was innovative?Anonymous

I don't like having a bar for the favorites. I think one-click adding should also be possible withouth the favorites bar enabled and it should also be possible to use web slices in the sidebar and not just in the toolbar. What I don't like about tabs in IE 8 is the fact that it still isn't possible to let tabs automatically be opened in the background. It always switches to the new tab which is in most cases really annoying. Something I don't understand is why there is a button to open the default mail program with one click (why should I do that? I have a taskbar with quicklaunch.) but for such a commen task like searching inside the page I have to go through a drop-down menu to enable it. and yeah again: Make autocomplete customizable (means: Let me choose if I want to see my history or only my favorites or whatever).Anonymous

@cameron I find it hard to make the assumption that since firefox released a feature first that no other company may have had the same type of feature in the works. Its like saying if a customer requested a feature, that the first to release it innovated and all others copied? Thats nonsense. @paulc The tab grouping is a nice feature but on the windows older theme (the windows 98/2k look) the coloring makes it hard to visually discern which tab is active. Also, the matching within page titles doesn't seem to be working. Does it only apply to the names of favorites? Will there be matching within the entire URL not just substring? Great work fellas in Redmond!Anonymous

- display search results in a NEW tab not just in the active tab.
- make it possible to drag-and-drop links to the tab-bar so I can open a link in a new tab without using the context menu.

Maybe you should give credit where it belongs. The smart bar, the quick favorites, find on page, they all come from Firefox. I don't think such openness is possible for you, sadly enough. I really like the better standards support though!Anonymous

@josh k Please explain what innovation is then if it's not coming up new ideas. Dictionary definition: "The act of introducing something new."

It is Microsoft that should have been innovating.Anonymous

In IE8b2 - if you click on a hyperlink located within a frame it will open the link both in the current tab, and in a new tab (even though no target attribute, or .js is associated with the link). For example, click the 'Valencia' logo/link in the upper left at: http://atlas-pprd.valenciacc.edu/ Now, bypass the frame and click the same 'Valencia' logo/link: http://atlas-pprd.valenciacc.edu/default.cfmAnonymous

@GZ If you want tabs to be opened in the background, go to Internet Options > General > Tab Settings. Shortcut for "Find on this page" is Ctrl+F just like (most of) other applications. @Phylyp I think integrating Find function into the search bar may confuse regular users as they alwasy do. @Phylyp, GZ If you wish to open in a new tab, alt+enter works. That also works for the address bar.Anonymous

Still waiting on VPC Images MSFT "Also waiting for the VPC image. As noted, the "IE App Compat VHD" page is now down entirely." Please make this a priority with every release. They should be released in SYNC with the downloadable executable. The current image fails horribly to install IE8 Beta 2. So far I've managed after several attempts to get as far as removing IE8 Beta 1. Installing Beta 2 gets as far as the downloading step, then just spins, and spins, and spins, and spins. on a side note, why is this post a complete regurgitation of the post from yesterday? same screenshots, same info? what gives?Anonymous
August 28, 2008
Overall, I like it. Better and smoother than IE8B1. Here are my suggestions:
- When a tab is grouped and if users open a new website (i.e. not through links on the page), the tab should be excluded from the group.
- There should be a shortcut to go through the list of tabs (or trigger the Tab List), instead of actually switching the tabs.
- Opening Find bar shifts the entire page making the experience very unnatural. Either move it to the bottom, provide some smooth transition, or don't shift the page.
- When IE crashes InPrivate Browsing, the tabs are not recovered. I think this is by-design... I'm not sure if that's good for users.

@Cameron Lets put it in a different scenario. We 100% know that every person that pays for gasoline is begging for an alternative. Now car manufacturers know this, and you cannot disagree that more than 1 manufacturer is creating a vehicle with a different fuel alternative - hydrogen lets hypothesize. So - the first manufacturer to RELEASE said car, is an innovator, and whomever releases theres after is simply a copy cat? How is that a valid argument? Back to IE, just because Firefox released a few features before IEs beta/release cycle has come around, doesnt mean IE saw Firefox features and was like "HEY WE NEED THOSE!!". Software takes months, if not years, to plan, organize, design, implement, test and finally release. I highly doubt that --"Most of the new features have been in Firefox for quite a while, and you make out that it was all your idea."-- really applies here at all. Once again, good for IE boys, this is shaping up nicely. =)Anonymous

@Josh K Based on your comments nobody innovates! What a load on nonsense. The fact is Microsoft copies popular features from diffrent browsers and then makes it out to be their own and as if they had the idea, just look at the wording in this blog post. Can you tell me why a company the size of Microsoft and with the resources that Microsft has, why is it that Microsoft is still playing catch up when it comes to browser standards support and features, baring in mind that Microsoft have had a monopoly in this arena? I have been developing web sites for over 10 years and IE has been a complete nightmare. They only now are starting to take Web Standards seriously, it should have happend a long time ago. Now I have to develop websites the render correctly in Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE6, IE7 and IE8.Anonymous

I tried twice to install IE8Beta2 and had to uninstall it again. It just does not work. In groups.msn.com you can't reply to a message. Cannot right click on a page link and then on Open in new Tab, it opens a tab, and just says "Connecting" but never connects. IE7 Pro's mouse gestures only work on some pages, not on others. No "Report a web page problem" in the right click context menu. Lost the Command Bar and cannot get it back and in the View menu, it's grayed out. Cannot customize any of the toolbars. Just too much wrong. I hope they fix it soon.Anonymous

I'd like to take this opportunity to make a minor complaint: I've used the Links bar for years (renamed "Favorites Bar" in this new version of IE). I put the most commonly used links at the front of the bar, with less-frequently used ones off the overflow to the right. Every version upgrade of IE, including this one, resorts the order of the list alphabetically. Now I have to go in and do a lot of awkward drag and drop. It would be nice if the order were preserved.Anonymous

Cameron, and others on about stealing FF's ideas: Theres plenty of stuff in here which is new. Having read this blog since just before IE8b1, there's been lots of people coming on and asking for stuff, especially stuff which is in FF. So what does MS do? Ignore the requests? But then their customers will complain. There's been many, many examples in history of good ideas being adopted by competitors, and standardised - it's called technological advancement. And the thing is, with everyone wanting the same features in each browser, and wanting each browser to support all the standards and more, it's inevitable that browser will be very much alike, seperated only by a asthetics.Anonymous

I spent 30 minutes yesterday searching for a way to submit bug reports for IE 8. The only official site I could find (connect.microsoft.com/ie) was closed. The first thing I noticed when running IE 8, is that comboboxes in forms are not drawn correctly. The down arrow has about a 1em space between it and the right edge of the combobox. Of course, switching to "Compatibility mode" makes it display correctly. BTW, Compatibility Mode is the worst feature of the whole browser. Every other browser on the market comes up with updates very frequently, and none of them have seen a need to have any type of 'compatibility mode' with previous versions. Instead, they continue to improve their standards support. Secondly, IE 7 has not been out long enough for anyone to have built websites that only work in IE 7. If you really need a compatibility mode, it's for IE 6 (which I believe is still available in Quirks mode). I suppose we can forgive you because, at least, you've enabled Standards mode by default.Anonymous

Smart Address Bar is really a great feature. However, it would be even better if Favorites were *recursively" searched. I extensively bookmark my sites, thus I have to use folders to better organize them. Given that Internet Explorer only lists bookmarks in the root Favorites folder, I need to manually browse to find a previouly bookmarked site in a sub-folder under Favorites.Anonymous

I think it is great that you have focused on end user features. End users didn't care that IE7 had a better rendering engine, so they were slow to upgrade. By adding neat-o end user features, hopefully the uptake will be better with IE8, which brings us developers what we want -- end users with standards compliant browsers. Win-Win.Anonymous

OK, so roughly 80% of addresses I type are sites that I've previously visited and you're all about making the user experience better. Then tell me why you have removed inline autocomplete and made the browsing experience WORSE! Now instead of starting to type a previous site I've visited and then just pressing Enter when inline autocomplete has done it's business I now have to start typing, wait for the "Smart" address bar to pop up, either click on the link with the mouse or use the arrow keys to go down and then press Enter. In what world is this an improvement? The Smart address is a massive improvement I'll give you that but you've made entering an address a worse user experience by adding in another key press in the process and one that involves completely moving my hands from the home keys. Very poor. Additionally, can I turn off that stupid "make the main domain black and everything else barely visible" feature in the address bar. I'm not stupid, I know what site I'm on (although I guess you're having to work with lots of stupid people) maybe make it an advanced option that I can disable?Anonymous

The smart address bar is great and like the awesomebar in Firefox, I really like it. But it's a little bit slow, sometimes I'm faster typing the address than it is displayed in the dropdown.

Issues Experienced:
- program locking up and shutting down unexpectedly quite a bit
- some images not being displayed. Example: maybe half of pix in posts at BoingBoing.net are present, as compared to Firefox
- not all content on pages is displayed at all times. Example: at Wired.com, after the first 5 pieces at the top of the page, they have 2 columns of additional articles, before the blog post links. IE 8 beta 2 showed only 6 of these (3 articles in each column); Safari for Windows had 14 (7 in each column)
- a specific article at Wired.com did not display the comments section, but they were present when using Safari
- performance seems to lag somewhat from what I’m used to with IE 7 Feature Request: upon opening a new tab, on the “What do you want to do next?” page, a link to launch your Home Page would be nice. I think I saw a place to launch this automatically somewhere, but I kinda like the new about:Tabs page. Hope this helps. Thanks for all of your work.

Imagine having ten items... or more... it would be easy to fill up the favorite bar. With only one click, you can add a page to the favorites bar; it would be better if there was a single click to take items off!!! Even better, would be a button called "Quick Slice" - similar to "Quick tabs" but with the additional capabilities of re-ordering the slices as they get displayed on the bar!!!! Added Suggestion: when the mouse rests on one of the items, make a hidden "X" appear. It would be obvious to any user that click on this "X" would remove it from the bar!Anonymous
