Although we’re excited to see what Google’s new Chrome web browser has to offer, it looks like the browser wars could get heated once again. You can’t blame them though with Microsoft trying to distort Google’s search and ad serving technology with the release of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8(IE8). IE8 has even more privacy features this go around. Two interesting features you should take note of, are InPrivate Browsing and InPrivate Blocking. Essentially, these features would tighten up on tracking softwares and other behavioral type scripts for instance, Google’s Analytics javascripts or their conversion tracking scripts used with Google Adwords to track sales conversions. IE8 would implement this by sensing the same off-site resources being used by 10 or more sites. The software would then be deemed tracking software and access to your IE8 session would be blocked from that resource for future attempts. Microsoft has the largest market share when it comes to the web browser wars. However, with Microsoft wanting to get into the search market and their deal with Yahoo going sour. You have to wonder about Microsoft’s intentions. A truly caring corporate power looking out for consumers and their privacy or an offensive move under the guise of advocating consumer privacy. It will be interesting to see what happens. It’s also been rumored that Mozilla’s Firefox and Apple’s Safari are contemplating on implementing the same or similar features in their browsers.
