Neowin, who have been lucky enough to see the upcoming browser, describes the UI as ‘flat’ and looking like ‘a cross between Chrome and Firefox’.
Microsoft are moving browser tabs to the top of the URL bar, following a UI trend popularised by Google’s browser and mimicked by virtually every browser since.
More room for the URL bar means more room for buttons. So, in addition to back and forward icons, Microsoft is also adding a combined refresh/stop button to the left of the URL bar.
IE12 will also see the barely used/limited Internet Explorer Add-Ons gallery axed in favour of an all new extension store. This, Neowin say, aims to meet the expectations users have of modern browsers, and should offer a wide range of customisation options, utilities and extra bolt-on functionality.
