I dunno how metro UI would actually work for a browser on the desktop. It's really ment for specific devices and experiences. That said, i'm pretty interested in what the real IE9 UI might be.

I quite like that.. I would probably use it on windows if they made the UI look that nice and I'm not a fan of IE!

They should have transition effects too... you go to another web page and it slides in from the side of the browser window over the top of the previous web page.:wub:

You know, that reminds me of the april fools joke last year that stated Microsoft had dropped trident and decided to go with Webkit. The interesting part - the number of fan boys who wished it were true; that was until they continued reading the article lol

It would have been great if the UI actually looked like that with tabs on top. Instead we're going to get that ****ty IE7+ UI again.

How do you even know? If all they were going to do was just use a tweaked IE7/8 UI like we have now then why even hide it from us at all? I think the fact we're only seeing a basic box at this point and no UI is because they're going to redo it all over.

I like IE8 with the fav bar btw. I have all my RSS feeds placed up there so I can quickly see a list of new things without having to open a new tab/window unless I want to. No other browser handles feeds this way, and I like it alot.

That's actually exactly what I'm going to do :p

My version doesn't look very good, nor does it look like the screenshots exactly. But it works, including all the buttons, and it was written in real code using WPF. Also didn't take very long. But I'm not very sure where I would put tabs.

Might be an April Fools, and if it is they certainly got me. Looks awesome, and even if it's fake hopefully someone will take the time to make a mock up of that picture in Mozilla Firefox. I know I'd download it.

Or a nice Chrome theme.

Tabs on top.

Yep! I'm making it more pretty, and adding a few more features that you would expect from a modern web browser. Also, I'm taking a few ideas from the WP7 version of IE where the original screenshots (IE9) were lacking. Maybe tomorrow I'll make available an installer so that you can try it out.

Tabs on top.

But underneath the title bar, right? Or on top? My idea was hidden, until you open something in another tab. Also check out the way WP7 implements tabs (although not ideal for a desktop application).

No. I hate them on top.

This. Make it appear when you open a new tab and underneath. I hate that new chrome trend where it is on top. :x

If this is an April's Fools joke, it's a good one, but I for one like this minimalist approach to interface (well, I like what it *could* look like with some much needed tweaking). My opinion (don't hold it against me) is that this also s**** all over Aero Glass, which takes a lot of space and does pretty much nothing. Then again, this would just break the UI consistency all over again, and it's pretty much already broken now.

Yes it does, since Microsoft has to drop all XP support someday....

Just another way to get people to finally drop XP. No IE9, no Windows Live Wave 4 apps either. And I think no Office 2010? I could be wrong on that las tone though.

    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
