Secrets of IE8
There are feature in IE8 (some of which are in older Internet Explorers as well) that have been around but never got the attention it deserved. I am going to go threw some of the futures that you may not know about below.
ctrl+Q: See a thumb nail view of all your Tabs 
simply by hitting control Q on your keyboard (Ctrl+Q). Seeing how most people are visual this will allow you to work quicker and more efficient.
Click on the tab you want or press Control Q again to go back to the tab you were on.
Close the tabs by clicking on the “X” in the upper right hand corner.
Right click to see what other options you can do with the tab.
Full screen: IE8 comes with only a favorites bar
and an area for the tabs, however some people like to install different tool bars that may clutter the top of there browser. Hit the “F11” key on your keyboard to toggle the page in and out of full screen.
Move the mouse to the top of the screen to see the rest of the browser the scroll bar is till on the right.
Alt+Tab will move you through windows while Ctrl+Tab will move you through tabs.
Ctrl+W will close your tab while
Ctrl+T will open a new tab.
And of course you can use the above Ctrl+Q to see all your tabs.
.
Improved Zoom: With enhanced resolution and readability, Zoom allows for automatic 
scaling of a page’s content while maintaining the site’s intended layout. You can read very large or very small pages more clearly without having to scroll back and forth.
Press Ctrl+Mouse Role (if your mouse has this ability) to zoom in or out.
If your mouse does not do this Press Ctrl++ and Ctrl+-. (Control and Plus or control and Minus) With this feature and the last who will ever needs glasses anymore.
.
Tab Grouping: Ta
b Grouping makes it easier to stay organized while browsing multiple webpages. Tabs that are opened from other tabs now have the same visual representation, and you can save time by closing a set of related tabs as a group by simply right-clicking. You also can right-click on a tab to close tab groups, ungroup a single tab, clone a tab, re-open a previously closed tab, or even open a new tab all together.
Home Tabs: In the morning when you open up your browser instead of opening up one tab with one Web site, open up as many as you want.
Go to the Tools->Internet Options and in the “Home Page” section type in the URL of each site you want to open in a separate tab on a separate line.
Suggeste d Sites: If you love that site, try this one. That’s the idea behind Internet 
Explorer 8′s new Suggested Sites feature. At your request, Internet Explorer 8 can use your browsing history to suggest other sites you may like or find useful. It’s another way that Internet Explorer 8 helps you utilize the web to its full potential.
This is a simple WebSlice. Simply click to find out what other things may interest you you.
Smart Address Bar: Internet Explorer 8 helps you find where you 
want to go as you type the address of your desired website.
By using Windows Search for faster performance and a richer return of information, the Smart Address Bar offers useful suggestions from your browsing history, favorites, and feeds.
Type single words into the Smart Address Bar, and they will be matched to simple domain names, making web surfing fast and efficient.
In Private Browsing: Stop worrying about your information being
stored on a Public computer. With industry-leading security features like InPrivate, you can browse and shop confidently using Internet Explorer 8, wherever you go on the web, knowing you have control over the protection of your personal information. Safety, trust, and reliability has always been IE’s number one concern.
Domain Highlighting: When you visit a site, its domain is highlighted in 
the Address Bar. This helps alert you to websites that are imposters of trusted sites, This will reduce the chance of compromising your personal information.
Take a look next time and make sure the site you want is the site you are on.
.Cross Site Scripting Filter: Check out the command bar (picture) for all the different 
safety controls you have command over. Stay safer online and help protect yourself from malicious software running on compromised websites with the Cross Site Scripting Filter.
Compatibility View: Are some sites that you are going to looking 
weird, this is because the site you are visiting has not been updated in a while. Now you can easily display websites that were designed for older browsers. Simply press the Compatibility View button if you see display problems on a website like misaligned text, images, or text boxes
