The competition is already fierce with Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari in the fray but Microsoft is hoping to make a comeback gain with its IE8 browser. The game changing browser for Microsoft will be available for download from 12 noon today EDT time. I am not really excited about this one coz I’m content with Chrome and Firefox. However, if you want to give it a try, head over here after noon. Here are few features that will help to influence your decision.

– Security features: touts to block 2-4 times malicious sites as compared to other browsers
– One of the fastest browsers in the market
– Accelerators: Accelerators make it faster and easier to perform common tasks online by making Web-based services such as ESPN.com, Live Search and Sina available for use directly from the page people are viewing. Users can simply right-click a word or phrase and instantly map, e-mail, or share it.
– Web Slices: Web Slices in Internet Explorer 8 makes favorite information from sites such as Digg, Yahoo! Mail, OneRiot, and eBay instantly available wherever someone goes on the Web.
– Visual search suggestions: The Instant Search Box in Internet Explorer 8 enables rich, real-time search from sites such as The New York Times, Amazon.com and Wikipedia, as well as sites from people’s own Favorites and History, complete with visuals and detailed information that saves time.
