How to use IE 8’s InPrivate Browsing?
Posted on May 26, 2009 - Filed Under Internet Explorer Tips | Leave a Comment
Do you want to keep your browsing history unrecorded? InPrivate browsing in IE 8 helps prevent anyone else who might be using your computer from seeing where you visited and what you looked at on the web.
It basically allows you to browse the Internet anonymously. When you start InPrivate Browsing, Internet Explorer opens a new window.
The protection that InPrivate Browsing provides is only in effect during the time that you use that window. You can open as many tabs as you want in that window, and they will all be protected by InPrivate Browsing.
How to display the Links toolbar as icons only in IE 8

I’ve been using Internet Explorer 8 recently and I have to say it’s definitely better than all of the older versions of IE. It’s faster and it’s got some nice features like favorite websites when you open a new tab, private browsing, and more.
The Favorites toolbar (aka Links toolbar) in IE 8 is just like the toolbar in previous versions of IE. You can drag a website to the toolbar and have 1-click access to that website.
Change View Source Code editor in IE

There’s a lot you can learn by viewing the source code of a website, i.e. what kind of analytics they are using, what CSS styles are being applied, and lots more! I routinely view the source code on many websites to learn how to do stuff.
However, one thing that was always annoying for me was that I didn’t like the default source code viewer for Internet Explorer, which I think was just notepad. It’s nice for normal text, but it’s not a great code viewer.
Prevent users from deleting IE browsing history

I’ve previously written several articles on how you can delete your Internet Explorer browsing history using a plugin, delete browsing history manually, or delete just your Google search history.
This is all great for those who want to get rid of any trace of the websites they visited, but what if you want to make sure that someone cannot delete the browsing history on a computer?

“Who cares?” I hear you say, “Just use Firefox”
Well, wherever your browser allegiances lie, IE8 is still a very important release and developers have to know what to expect from this new browser.
The current IE beta is pretty unstable, almost unusable so I wouldn’t really recommend giving it a spin just for interest’s sake. The following guide is what you can expect from the final version.

I can hear the groans and imagine the eye rolls already. “Another toolbar?!?” Yes, Crawler Toolbar is another free toolbar, which can be added to Internet Explorer. Before you stop reading, you may be interested to know about the myriad of features this particular toolbar has to offer.
In a previous post, the Spyware Terminator product was reviewed. During the installation routine of Spyware Terminator, you have the option of installing the Crawler Toolbar. Alternatively, you can go directly to the website (www.crawler.com) and get the toolbar separately.
