Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) and Reliability Improvements

There was a post recently on the MSDN blogs about reliability and IE8. In particular, how IE8 will be much more reliable than previous versions.

There has been great improvements in IE8 in regards to performance, display and recovery. These three areas will now be much more solid than in past versions. Some of the new features in IE8:

  • Loosely-Coupled IE: An architectural feature that helps isolate different parts of the browser from each other for smoother browsing performance.
  • Automatic Crash Recovery: A feature that is designed to get users back to browsing as quickly as possible after a crash.
  • Windows Error Reporting: A way for our customers to provide us with information to improve the reliability of Internet Explorer.

You can read the full technical details in the MSDN blog post, but basically the focus is on improved speed and simpler recovery from crashes. A browser crash and recovery will be smoother and faster. There should also be less crashing due to the loosely-coupled IE.
