The first thing we noticed when we installed IE9 was how snappy it is. We’d complain more if Microsoft didn’t also copy Chromes best feature: it’s speed and adherence to Web standards. IE9 is a blatant copy of Google’s Chrome browser, right down to its searchable address bar. Never has this been more clear than with Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9, the newest version of its exceedingly popular browser. Whenever one browser implements a popular new feature, the others seem sure to follow. While Microsoft was once content to sit on its browser throne, intense competition from Google and Mozilla has brought a plethora of innovative new features to the market.
