IE has also finally decided to support tabbed browsing. Just when you thought you wouldn’t see another version of Internet Explorer this side of the next ice age, Microsoft hits the world with a totally new release of its almighty browsing app.It’s been so long in the making that many web users have got fed up with waiting for Microsoft to update its technology and have looked elsewhere – mainly in the direction of Firefox.Now the big, bad king of the browser world is in no mood to see its crown wrestled away, but can it do enough to win back its deserters? For starters, the new streamlined interface is definitely an improvement.Microsoft has basically stripped back the menu bar and hidden all of the tools and functions within a set of compact icons, placed subtly at the top-right of the interface.It allows you to see pages in a very large viewing space. It also provides all the latest security and performance enhancements for Internet Explorer 5 for Mac OS X.Xavier Slim Updated 2 years ago You wanted it easier and more secure This latest version - version 5.2.3 - enhances browser compatibility for users who work on a network with secure authentication or with proxy servers. If you've just switched from Windows to Mac, try one of the browsers suggested above instead. There are absolutely no compelling reasons to use Internet Explorer for Mac. Since development finished in 2005, Internet Explorer for Mac doesn't offer even the most basic features that you would consider a prerequisite on any browser nowadays like tabs, extensions, saved sessions or private data management. Internet Explorer for Mac is incredibly slow, buggy, prone to crashes and freezing and is woefully short of security settings. We couldn't even render the Softonic website in it and indeed, most websites failed to load properly. However, for normal internet browsing we'd really discourage you from using it. However, if you really can't help yourself and are an Internet Explorer nostalgic, you might want to try it for a trip down memory lane.
Alternatively, just check out all of the other browsers available for Mac. Since the browser is no longer designed to handle the requirements of most modern web pages, we strongly advise you to try Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Opera instead. Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and does not provide further security or performance updates.
