The latest version of Microsoft’s web browser is undoubtedly a success. Although its overall ergonomics has not really evolved, Internet Explorer 11 benefits mainly from technical evolutions.

The Windows 8.1 web browser

The latest version of Internet Explorer before switching to Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, Internet Explorer 11 is the Microsoft web browser included by default in Windows 8.1. While Windows 7 came with the version 10 of the browser at launch, users of this system can now (they too) enjoy the latest version of the browser.

As a reminder, Internet Explorer 11 is also available for Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit).

Latest Features in Internet Explorer 11

Better performance (better memory management) and faster page openings, especially via SPDY protocol support. This experimental protocol initiated by Google aims to increase the capabilities of the HTTP protocol (but does not replace it).

The support of the use of 100 tabs per window simultaneously (although it will be necessary to navigate)

Support for new web standards

new tool for developers (inspection, “F12” key)

WebGL support (graphical hardware acceleration)

No change for the media side for these versions Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 where it will always be content with Flash and Silverlight.

Of course, after installation, restart your computer before discovering this version 11 of the browser signed Microsoft.

Internet Explorer 11 is not available for Windows 8. 8.1 being a free update, it will be necessary to migrate under this system to have the latest version of the browser.
