Microsoft are planning on releasing their next beta version of Internet Explorer 8 (Beta2) with major security upgrades.Leaving aside the absurdity of testing their software on the public and actually having multiple Test versions – this is good news for the current IE8 Beta 1 users (numbering in the hundreds of thousands).
The new beta version will feature new security filters which are designed to filter out phishing attempts and cross-site-scripting attacks – which sounds awfully similiar to the new features that Firefox 3 released recently.
