Automatic crash recovery
Tab isolation
If a website or add-on causes a tab to crash in Internet Explorer 8, only that tab is affected. The browser itself remains stable and other tabs remain unaffected, thereby minimizing any disruption to your browsing experience.

Crash recovery
If one or more of your tabs do crash, your tabs are automatically reloaded and you are returned to whatever page you were on before the crash.

InPrivate Blocking
Today websites increasingly pull content in from multiple sources, providing tremendous value to consumer and sites alike. Users are often not aware that some content, images, ads and analytics are being provided from third party websites or that these websites have the ability to potentially track their behavior across multiple websites. InPrivate Blocking provides users an added level of control and choice about the information that third party websites can potentially use to track browsing activity.

To use this feature, open a new tab and select InPrivate Browsing, or select "InPrivate Browsing" from the Safety menu. To end your InPrivate Browsing session, simply close the browser window.

Note: Because InPrivate Blocking is designed to watch for and block only third-party content that appears with a high frequency across sites you visit, no content is blocked until such levels are detected, nor is any such content blocked which is served directly by the site you are visiting. Depending on your web browsing activity and sites visited, the amount of time it can take before such content is automatically blocked can vary widely. However, at any time, you can customize which third-party content is blocked or allowed though subscribing to InPrivate allow and block feeds.

Mozilla have already pulled the plug on Thunderbird, probably because Google wants everyone to use G-Mail, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Firefox go next.

Wasn't ThunderBird now being developed by individuals now or is it totally dropped by everyone? (I haven't read any announcements)

I was a bit upset because I thought Opera might be a bit more safer to use and wouldn't get hit by such a thing, but it did. So I'm back to using FireFox with some plugins to prevent such things from hitting me again.

Other than that, Opera has come a long long way. Solid, useful, well done if you ask me.

In practice, with the web, there’s a bit of a problem: no way to test a web page against the standard, because there’s no reference implementation that guarantees that if it works, all the browsers work. This just doesn’t exist.
