A release candidate of Microsoft's next-generation Internet Explorer
browser made available this week has twice finished last in a five-
browser benchmark competition [by Zdnet Australia].
On the Sunspider JavaScript performance test, despite all the
performance improvements Microsoft says it's making, IE8 finished last
by roughly 3,000ms. It was narrowly bested by Opera 10 alpha, while
bunched at the top of the performance ranks and separated by slight
margins were Google Chrome 2.0.158.0, WebKit r40220, and Firefox 3.1
beta 1...
IE8 has received some new features, including a private browsing mode
Microsoft calls InPrivate, joining long-present similar features in
Safari, Opera, and Chrome. [More "innovation" by Microsoft]
