There are a few things that are missing that even IE8 has, like where's the option to save my tabs? Or to restart my last tab session? Also the back/forward buttons are missing their dropdown history list as well. The option to move tabs below or above the address bar as well would be good.

We know and apreciate the great work they have done, amazing actually.

But what is it still missing to be perfect? In your opinion.

For me I'm disapointed missing:

  1. Spellcheck.
  2. CSS text shadows.
  3. Extensions, but unrealistic to thought IE9 get them.

Uh... yeah, I can see what you mean by the SpellCheck reference. :whistle:

The Back/Forward Buttons have a drop down history. Just click on it (Don't let go)

I would like it to have a spellchecking feature, but it's not a deal-breaker for me. More CSS3 and HTML5 support is always welcome. I don't care about extensions or ad-blocking.

I love it so far, but I believe they need more consistency in their design - e.g. closing the browser should bring up an information bar (similar to the one asking if you wish to save your password), instead of a dialog asking if you wish to close all tabs or just the current. They also need to overhaul old elements, such as the 'Internet options'.

I think you've covered it for the most part. Since I wasn't a huge fan of IE7 or IE8, I don't miss any of the IE specific features that others might.

Oh wow, talk about hidding it from us. I never wouldn't known, thanks.

IE9Pro add-on coming soon? Adblock + spellcheck and all? Shouldn't take long.

I'm loving the Beta - this thing is super fast and loads up as quick as Chrome (Firefox still lags behind). Font rendering is a bit funny, but I can live with that. Loving the new Download Manager (though its about time they included one).

The UI has had a much needed overhaul but obviously they will tweak it before the final release. I too would like to see a Spell Checker.

Things I don't like / are missing:

1. Please please please allow us to move the tab bar, it looks so odd this way. Or code something in which when you click on the tab, it expands to an address bar.

2. The 64bit version doesn't support jumplists / start menu lists (w/e they're called lol).

3. If someone could confirm this, entering text on neowin (only on quick reply) on IE64 seems to have a slight lag. Haven't tried the 32bit, but since this is a beta I'm expecting bugs like this lol.

4. Quicktabs.

5. The tiny white space below the top bar and the page.

6. Maybe make the back button full lol? Looks odd this way.

7. Smooth page scrolling. If I use the bar, its extremely smooth. Using a scrolling wheel, or a touchpad scroll, isn't. This is one of my favorite features in Opera, and I hope MS improves it!

    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • A McDonald's restaurant uses about 1.5 to 2 million gallons of water per year for operations like food preparation, cleaning, and restrooms. That is a lot less than the 2,083 gallons of water per megawatt hour mentioned above.
