Re: IE reborn: Internet Explorer 10 arrives on Windows 7 I wonder how many people wouldn't use Internet Explorer just because it's an evil Microsoft product? Even it it renders pages faster than the others due to GPU acceleration and has a better sandbox than Chrome? In terms of sandbox/protected mode is it more secure than the pwn2own champ "Chrome"? |

kudos:2 | Many don't use the latest IE because of the dumb m$'s policy where they artificially limit it for using with only few latest Windows OS's (W8, and now W7). I think m$ shoots itself in the foot by eliminating by their own will a lot of potential users...

Slightly OT, but have any tests been done to see how secure IE 10, maybe a comparison to Chrome?

I was in a hurry when I posted and was not very clear...sorry. I meant go to Advanced Tab (not Security Tab). On the Advanced Tab under the Security SECTION enable EPM. Then open some tabs in IE Internet zone and check Process Explorer.
It is all explained in this rather lengthy blog:
»blogs.msdn.com/b/ieinternals/arc···top.aspx
But I had missed this:
"In the upcoming Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008R2, the only thing that enabling Enhanced Protected Mode does is turn on 64bit Content Processes. But, when running on Windows 8, the EPM option provides even more security by also causing the sandboxed Content Process to run in a new process isolation feature called “AppContainer.”
So, you still won't have tabs running in App Container and I want to know why tabs appear to be running outside App container even though I turned on EPM. They don't appear to be even running at 64bit much less in the App container.

Just how bloated is the code for this? (Or how deep does it hook into the system?) Upon reboot, I got the "Please wait. Updating Windows" screen for quite a while during shutdown and again during startup. It took almost as long as the ridiculous .Net updates.  |

said by gugarci:I have IE10 installed in the program folder and also in the program x86 folder.
C:\Program Files\ <= 64-bit software
C:\Program Files(x86)\ <= 32-bit software
Just create you're own shortcuts if they don't exist.
The x64 installer installs both versions.

I only use IE on my 2 older XP PC's to check for updates. How do you block ads in IE10? Is there anything I can use for free like Adblock Plus??? Before I started using Firefox, just before version 1, I used to use Ad Muncher Pro. But since IE10 is not my go to web brower I'm looking for a free solution.
Thanks.

Mele:
I ran into a simlair issue a few months ago. To solve it I had to do the following:
1. Right-Click IE10 and select Run As Administrator.
2. Click Continue through UAC prompt.
3. Once IE loads its page, then Go into Internet Options, Advanced.
4. Find the Enhanced Protected Mode option.
5. If its checked, uncheck it and hit apply, and then check it again and hit apply. If its unchecked, check it and hit apply.
6. Close IE10 and restart Windows.
It seems running it as Administrator to enable EPM solves the issues, and your tabs will then run as 64 bit and be App Container sandboxed. Following these steps worked for me on Windows 8 Pro.
I hope it works for you. |

I saw that one just before I posted. Is this the software most IE users are using to block ads. I've never heard of it before.
Also someone on Wilders just posted this link for a Fanboy list. Looks like it does not require ABP.
