In the market of browsers a new round of battles between the major players is expected. Microsoft released the finished version of its browser, Internet Explorer 9 Beta, where it was sold with a lot of innovations, including those that will be visible to the naked eye and those which are not. The new version browser from Microsoft measure swords with the Opera 10, Google Chrome, Firefox and Apple Safari which updated its browser for a second time this year.

The IE9 was released, just a day after the release of Mozilla Firefox 4, which also had a lot of innovation. Despite the fact that now all the browser vendors are trying to align their offspring, so that innovative functionality is implemented in all these browsers but in different ways.

One of the most interesting features of the latest generation of browsers is the so-called hardware acceleration. The general idea behind this is quite simple, the graphic elements of web pages, such as images, photos, videos, will be processed by means GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), which is really needed. Such an approach should in theory speed up the loading of web pages and bring on the era of the so-called three-dimensional Internet.

One only problem arises with an approach to work with graphics systems Windows, Mac OS and Linux is that none of the players can boast about his browser being the best which offers acceleration for all systems. In most cases, acceleration is only available in Windows-versions.

Speaking of the scheduled release of Microsoft Internet Explorer 9, the corporation certifies that the browser has received more than a beautiful and easy interface, and in addition became even more closer to common Web standards, so working with it, will be easier.

The Vice-president of Microsoft and head of the profile unit Dean Hachamovich said that, their IE9 version is the first browser of Microsoft, which uses the maximum number of hardware components of the system. In addition, its engine now handles extremely complex pages, where there are layers, and a lot of dynamics, and updated in real-time data and much more.

He added that interaction of the browser with hardware components will be unthinkable at this level. This is perhaps one of the main advantages of IE9.

The Graphic chips manufacturers AMD and NVIDIA tend to agree that the browsers will benefit from the fact that it learns to work with graphics processors. David Ragones, Director of Product Marketing of the NVIDA, said that we looked at the browser and understand that in the future it will become one of the major resources of the consumers’ graphics chips.

Despite the fact that the popularity of Internet Explorer in recent years, steadily falling against the growing popularity of competitors’ developments. Internet Explorer is still the dominant browser, which is almost three times ahead of the market share of its nearest competitor.
According to the company Net-Applications, in August 2010, the share of IE in the world market amounted to 60.4%, Mozilla Firefox 22.9%, Google Chrome 7.5%, and Apple Safari 5.3%.

According to Brian Rakowski, director of product Mozilla, in IE9 there is no significant development, which previously would not have been established in other browsers, particularly in the Firefox.

At Google, they say that the main features Chrome have already overtaken IE, but on some innovations, declared in IE9 browsers will be comparable to a couple of weeks.

Moreover, speaking about the new features, such as on the hardware acceleration, Rakowski notes that their browser supports more operating systems than IE9.
