Huge overhaul for IE9 please.

Submitted by Acta on July 10, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

At the moment IE 8, even as a huge improvment over IE7, is still severall miles short of all the other browsers. We need to sort this.

Support for HTML 5. In built support for open source file types. .OGG etc.
Search from the address bar just like in firefox and chrome.
Quicker Javascript rendering.
Loading bar in the address bar, just like in the file explorer.
Remove compatability view in 9, if websites havnt updated by then (probably 2 years away) then its their fault.
New default new tab page with thumbnails of the favorites in your favorites bar.

Overall: Steal the best ideas of the other browsers - BUT improve upon them.
