Here are some screenshots - from the Release Candidate. In those images we see that there are small changes in the UI of Internet Explorer 9. The design of the tabs has been changed to one with square edges, cleaner and in line with the rest of the interface, and the space occupied by the address bar / tools has also been slightly reduced so that we have even more space to view the web pages.

Small changes have also been made to the "new tab" page, adding shortcuts to Private Browsing (InPrivate) and the Internet Explorer website recommendation service. In short, they are novelties that most users will find insignificant, but that denote that it is a much more polished release and with care for details.

As for new features, the RC includes an ActiveX filter, in addition to adding a function that allows us to prevent the sites we visit from accessing our geographical location, and the famous Tracking Protection will also be incorporated, which will prevent websites from tracking our activity.

Finally, there are improvements to HTML5 support. The browser now scores 116 points out of 300 in this test, 20 points more than in the previous test, but still far behind other browsers, such as Chrome which scores 231 points. As for the well-known Acid3 test, IE9 continues to score 95 points, and apparently this will not change, since Microsoft has decided not to implement the SVG and SMIL sources, which is precisely what the Acid3 test evaluates with the last 5 hundredths of the score. Of course, according to certain sites, these 2 features could soon be taken from the Acid 3 test, and from the SVG standards.
