However, a pop-up blocker does not make the browser safer - that is provided by the new Manage Add-ons feature. The new Internet Explorer prevents dangerous HTML code from being implemented on the local PC by listing add-ons in the Manage Add-ons dialogue box, where they can be enabled or disabled by the user. If a Web page tries to load a disabled add-on, a warning is given - however, the user can ignore the warning and permit Internet Explorer to execute the code.
In our tests, Internet Explorer warned about the execution of parts of the iBench Internet benchmark, even though this contains no dangerous code. If such errors persist in the final version of SP2, some companies' intranet applications might be affected. The warning might concern many users, resulting in an IT support call -- which surely is not the intention.
Internet Explorer can now manage browser add-ons.
