From PC World: Microsoft crowed about advances in Internet Explorer 11 for Windows Phone 8.1 earlier this week, but so far reviews from users are mixed.
Microsoft detailed in a blog various security, privacy, speed and interface enhancements to the browser, but people aren’t completely happy with the way it works on the upcoming version of the smartphone OS--though the software is still in beta testing.
Windows Phone 8.1 is available in a developer’s preview version and is due to ship in final form in the coming months. Non-developers can install it as well by following these steps.
There are several recurring complaints from commenters, many focused on the way IE 11 handles Web page tabs, which unhappy users described as erratic, confusing and inconvenient.
Some found that the browser opens and closes tabs too slowly, and that it often arranges them in arbitrary order, making it hard for people to find specific ones when a bunch of them are open.
Several users also complained that tabs and Web pages reload too frequently and without the user prompting the action, which at times can be inconvenient and make navigating open pages confusing and slow.
