进化:从孤胆极客到高效团队

It’s been a long time since Microsoft released the first beta of Internet Explorer 8, which left me wondering what they had up their sleeve. After reading that they added a ton of new features in Beta 2 like private browsing, tab grouping and a new smart address bar, I just had to try it out and share with all of our readers.

自微软发布Internet Explorer 8的第一个beta版本以来，已经有很长的时间了，这让我想知道他们有什么想法。在阅读完他们在Beta 2中添加的大量新功能(如私人浏览，选项卡分组和新的智能地址栏)后，我只需要尝试一下并与所有读者分享。

Installation

安装

Ok, we are off to find out what Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 has to offer. First let’s take a look at the options during initial installation. I am writing about this screen for screen so if you have not yet explored this new beta you’re seeing each of these screens for the first time along with me.

好的，我们开始寻找Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2提供的功能。首先，让我们看一下初始安装期间的选项。我正在为这个屏幕编写屏幕，因此，如果您还没有探索这个新的Beta版，那么您将是第一次与我一起看到每个屏幕。

During the initial install it looks like I have the option to get the latest updates. Sure, might as well.

在初始安装过程中，我似乎可以选择获取最新更新。当然可以。

After Installation is complete time to reboot.

安装完成后，可以重新引导 。

Ok, looks like IE wants to help me discover websites by suggesting them to me. Normally I would not want this feature, but for this review I am turning it on. You can always turn off the suggested sites at any time.

好的，看起来IE希望通过向我建议网站来帮助我发现网站。通常我不希望使用此功能，但是对于本次评测，我将其打开。您随时可以随时关闭建议的站点。

Time to choose Express or Custom settings. If you want more control over the setup process you will definitely want to use Custom Settings.

是时候选择“快速”或“自定义”设置了。如果要对设置过程进行更多控制，则一定要使用“自定义设置”。

Choosing Accelerator Providers

选择加速器提供商

Accelerator Providers work with selected text on a webpage to perform different tasks such as looking up word definitions or get directions on a map to a street address. If you are familiar and comfortable with Microsoft’s services go ahead and select that option. For this installation I am selecting the option to see even more Accelerator options. There is an option to disable the Accelerator providers, but come on test things out! I am very excited about these new built in features.

加速器提供程序使用网页上的选定文本来执行不同的任务，例如查找单词定义或在地图上找到到达街道地址的路线。如果您熟悉并熟悉Microsoft的服务，请继续并选择该选项。对于此安装，我选择的选项是查看更多的Accelerator选项。有一个选项可以禁用Accelerator提供程序，但请测试一下！这些新的内置功能让我感到非常兴奋。

SmartScreen Filter

SmartScreen筛选器

Because I want to try out everything in this beta including the enhanced security features I am going to turn it on. This feature will protect you from phishing attempts and other scams.

因为我想试用此Beta中的所有功能，包括增强的安全功能，所以我将其打开。此功能将保护您免受网络钓鱼尝试和其他欺诈的侵害。

Finally, choosing to let IE be my default browser, sorry but I am still a Firefox man for now. However, I will Import from Firefox.

最后，选择让IE作为我的默认浏览器，对不起，但是我现在仍然是Firefox。但是，我将从Firefox导入。

After clicking finish on the previous screen I get the other browser selection screen.

单击上一个屏幕上的完成后，我得到另一个浏览器选择屏幕。

Bookmarks and Feeds Import Successful.

书签和订阅源导入成功。

Taking A Look At New Features.

看一下新功能。

Let’s start digging in! The first thing which caught my eye is the list of Accelerators to choose from which is a very comprehensive list. Expect to see more and more third party Accelerators as IE 8 becomes more of a standard. I will test these out later, moving on.

让我们开始挖掘吧！首先引起我注意的是加速器列表，从中可以选择非常全面的列表。随着IE 8越来越成为标准，期望看到越来越多的第三方加速器。稍后，我将继续测试这些。

The next thing which caught my attention was a message saying that the MSN homepage may require an add-on. It is similar to the ActiveX warning but did not explicitly say it so I was not totally sure. You’ll also notice how the domain name is highlighted in a different color than the rest of the URL.

接下来引起我注意的是一条消息，指出MSN主页可能需要附加组件。它类似于ActiveX警告，但未明确说明，因此我不确定。您还将注意到域名如何以与URL其余部分不同的颜色突出显示。

I do wish Microsoft would stop this from popping up on their own site! I accept it and continue. (although you should weigh carefully before allowing ActiveX controls to run because they can be a security risk)

我希望微软能阻止它在自己的网站上弹出！我接受并继续。 (尽管在运行ActiveX控件之前应仔细权衡，因为它们可能会带来安全风险)

One of the cool things about this Beta is the amount of features already installed without having to download Add-ons. Many features are enabled by default such as Developer Tools.

关于此Beta的很酷的事情之一是无需下载附加组件就可以安装许多功能。默认情况下启用了许多功能，例如开发人员工具。

It looks like everyone now wants an intuitive address bar. Firefox 3 has the so called “awesome bar”. IE 8 comes with a Smart Address Bar which tries to guess what site you want to visit based on past history. Only 5 history entries will be shown. If you want to see more just click on the expand arrow near the bottom. As I am using the Smart Address Bar, I find it more intuitive and responsive compared to “Awesome Bar”.

看来每个人现在都想要一个直观的地址栏。 Firefox 3具有所谓的“真棒”。 IE 8带有一个智能地址栏，可根据过去的历史来猜测您要访问的网站。仅显示5个历史记录条目。如果您想查看更多，只需单击底部附近的展开箭头。当我使用智能地址栏时，与“超赞栏”相比，我发现它更加直观和响应。

Better Tabbed Browsing

更好的选项卡式浏览

IE 8 offers new functionality to tabbed browsing, as you’ll notice if you right-click on a tab… now you can Duplicate tabs or even re-open the last opened tab, features that required an add-on before.

IE 8为选项卡式浏览提供了新功能，您会注意到，如果右键单击某个选项卡…现在您可以复制选项卡，甚至重新打开上次打开的选项卡，这些功能之前需要附加。

The Tab Group feature will highlight tabs that were opened from other tabs, so you can visually identify a group of tabs by where you opened them from… or also close them all at once. Very useful for doing research and opening a whole bunch of tabs from Google, you can simply close all of the tabs that you had opened while keeping your other tabs open.

“选项卡组”功能将突出显示从其他选项卡打开的选项卡，因此您可以从中打开它们的位置直观地标识一组选项卡…或也可以一次关闭它们。对于进行研究和从Google打开一大堆标签非常有用，您可以简单地关闭所有已打开的标签，同时保持其他标签的打开状态。

The Quick Tabs button shows a small thumbnail of each page you have open in different tabs. This comes in handy if you have multiple tabs open and need to access a certain page quickly. This isn’t a new feature, but you’ll notice that tab groups are now highlighted in this view.

快速选项卡按钮显示在不同选项卡中打开的每个页面的小缩略图。如果您有多个选项卡打开并且需要快速访问某个页面，这将很方便。这不是一项新功能，但是您会注意到，该视图中现在突出显示了选项卡组。

With this version IE takes a lesson from Firefox and has included Crash Recovery. If the browser happens to crash you can get the last session back with all the open tabs. This is a feature that previously could only be used by installing add-ons.

在此版本中，IE从Firefox上吸取了教训，并包含了崩溃恢复功能。如果浏览器崩溃，则可以使用所有打开的选项卡返回上一个会话。此功能以前只能通过安装附件来使用。

Searching

正在搜寻

The Search feature has improved a bit as well… here is a list of the different providers you can add. Even though you have one of the providers as default you can still add as few or as many as you want.

搜索功能也有所改进……这是您可以添加的不同提供程序的列表。即使您具有默认的提供程序之一，您仍然可以根据需要添加任意数量的数量。

When searching you can choose a different provider and get results directly in the drop down box. Here is an example of searching for a product with Amazon.

搜索时，您可以选择其他提供商，并直接在下拉框中获得结果。这是一个使用Amazon搜索产品的示例。

You’ll also notice that the drop-down for the search box now shows both your history as well as suggestions from Google or whoever you are using for searching. You can even click the icons at the bottom to quickly switch between them.

您还会注意到，搜索框的下拉列表现在同时显示了您的历史记录以及Google或您正在搜索的任何人的建议。您甚至可以单击底部的图标以在它们之间快速切换。

Improved Security With Private Browsing

通过私人浏览提高安全性

Another cool built in improvement is two tools that allow better security and private browsing. InPrivate can be turned on from the Tools menu. This feature basically allows you to surf the web and none of your tracks (cookies, temp files, history, etc) will be saved. Tired of your “significant other” harping on you about sites your visiting? This feature is right up your alley!

内置的另一个不错的改进是两个工具，它们可以提供更好的安全性和私有浏览。可以从“工具”菜单中打开InPrivate 。基本上，此功能使您可以浏览网页，并且不会保存任何曲目(cookie，临时文件，历史记录等)。厌倦了您“重要的其他人”对您访问的站点之以鼻？这个功能就在您的小巷附近！

Suggested Sites

建议的网站

Anytime you are at a particular site you can press the Suggested Sites button to find other websites with similar content. While trying it for this review I did have some problems finding similar sites for smaller blogs but I am assuming this will improve over time.

每当您在特定站点上时，都可以按“建议的站点”按钮查找具有相似内容的其他站点。在尝试进行本次审查时，我确实在为小型博客找到相似的站点时遇到了一些问题，但是我认为随着时间的推移，这种情况会有所改善。

Compatibility

兼容性

Whenever a new browser version is released, there’s always issues for webmasters trying to make sure their websites work correctly in the new browser version. IE8 uses “Standards Mode” by default, which adheres much more strictly to web standards, but sometimes causes problems with certain websites.

每当发布新的浏览器版本时，网站管理员总是会遇到问题，以确保其网站在新的浏览器版本中可以正常工作。 IE8默认使用“标准模式”，它严格遵守Web标准，但有时会导致某些网站出现问题。

If you encounter an issue viewing a website, you can click the new Compatibility View button on the address bar, which will switch to viewing the site in a more compatible mode.

如果您在查看网站时遇到问题，可以单击地址栏上的新“兼容性视图”按钮，它将切换为以更兼容的模式查看网站。

Conclusion

结论

This version of Internet Explorer is miles ahead of any previous version of IE, enough that it’s actually able to compete in features with the default Firefox, at least.

此版本的Internet Explorer比任何以前的IE版本都领先几英里，足以使它至少能够与默认Firefox竞争功能。

If you are an early adopter, it’s well worth trying out… but there are a few compatibility issues still, so if you depend on IE for your work you might want to wait a short while for the final release.

如果您是早期采用者，那么值得尝试一下……但是仍然存在一些兼容性问题，因此，如果您依靠IE进行工作，则可能要等一会儿才能发布最终版本。
