Microsoft rolls out browser fixes
Microsoft Corp. is releasing a new test version of Internet Explorer, the market-leading Web browser that is facing competition from smaller players.
The new beta, available Tuesday for free download to English-languages customers, includes fixes for problems that were causing Internet Explorer 7 to stop working, said Dean Hachamovitch, general manager in charge of Internet Explorer development.
With the previous test version, Hachamovitch said the most common problems reported involved banking and news sites, in part because of security changes.
Improving security can be tricky since any changes can cause legitimate Web sites to stop working, frustrating users.
