Internet Explorer 9 Softpedia Edition

Internet Explorer 9 Softpedia Edition is a custom version of Microsoft's popular browser. It's designed especially for the huge community of Softpedia users and fans, with special tweaks and features to make your browsing experience on Softpedia.com and other websites even better.

What Makes This Version Special?

Just a little history here: Internet Explorer 9 was only the second version (after Internet Explorer 2) that wasn't bundled with a new operating system right from the start. Some manufacturers did include it with their new Windows 7 laptops though. Plus, this version was the first to drop support for Windows XP and earlier systems.

Performance Boosts & Features

This edition really shines with its improved performance and Tracking Protection. Internet Explorer 9 put IE back on the map as one of the top browsers available. It introduced cool features like pinned sites, a security-enabled download manager, enhanced tabs, and even an add-on Performance Advisor that helped it spread across millions of computers globally.

The Changing Browser Scene

Even though Internet Explorer 9 brought some impressive updates, it didn't change the overall trend much in terms of browser popularity. In fact, it was actually the last version that led in global browser stats before Google's Chrome took over around mid-2012.

New Features Just for You

With this version, Microsoft made sure to keep up with modern web standards by supporting CSS3 and HTML5. The Softpedia edition takes full advantage of these improvements while adding two search providers so you can easily find software or news right from Softpedia.com. It also includes customized Web Slices that pull updates from the Softpedia News section directly!

Your Browsing Experience Enhanced

You'll notice that Internet Explorer 9 Softpedia Edition sets the homepage to Softpedia's website address while introducing two handy accelerators. These allow you to quickly search any selected text from any page you're browsing using those built-in search providers.

A Perfect Fit for Fans!

This personalized version of Microsoft's software is perfect for those who love everything about Softpedia.com. Keep in mind, it doesn't fix any existing issues with IE; rather, it caters specifically to users who are always searching for the latest software news, reviews, and games.
