Internet Explorer will help users maintain privacy
Yesterday Microsoft launched it's beta version of it's internet browser Internet Explorer (IE) 8. IE 8 includes a privacy setting feature called "InPrivate", which conceals users browsing history and deletes cookies. The feature threatens Google's business model, because Google use cookies to collect browsing history to help them target advertising at users. The internet browser Firefox already includes a similar feature. However IE accounts for 73% of the worldwide browser market compared to Firefox's 19% and the feature will be more predominantly displayed in IE 8.
