尽管没有多少网站广泛涵盖Internet Explorer并撰写有关它的有趣文章和教程，但该浏览器仍然设法保持最常用浏览器的称号。原因之一是它提供了一些其他浏览器没有或没有完全采用的有趣功能。下面列出了Internet Explorer具有而其他浏览器没有的 5 大功能，我希望看到每个人都采用这些功能。
视觉搜索提供商
我最喜欢Internet Explorer的功能之一是能够安装和使用可视搜索提供的功能。它们不仅允许您查看搜索建议，而且还附带包含图片和一些文本描述的视觉预览。
非常有用，看起来很棒。不幸的是，许多搜索提供商并未使用此功能，我希望在Internet Explorer和其他浏览器中看到更多。
关于附加组件(Add-ons)性能影响(Performance Impact)的统计信息
正如文章 Internet Explorer 9(article Internet Explorer 9) - 如何提高加载和导航速度(Load & Navigation Speed)中所强调的那样，浏览器监控所有加载项的性能影响(performance impact)，并鼓励用户禁用那些减慢速度的加载项。
我希望更多的浏览器会有类似的行为，并(behavior and share)以透明的方式分享每个插件对减慢浏览体验(browsing experience)的影响。
提高安全性
如果您定期关注科技新闻，您肯定会了解到(tech news)Internet Explorer被宣布为最安全的浏览器，或者至少是该标题的重要竞争者。最后一场辩论，在这里找到：浏览器研究揭示了 Firefox 的不安全性（谷歌批准了这条消息）(Browser Study Sheds Light On Firefox's Insecurity (And Google Approves This Message))，认为谷歌 Chrome 和Internet Explorer是该标题的前两个竞争者。
撇开这场争论不谈，在我们为“所有人的安全”系列所做的测试中，我们(Everyone series)注意到(Security)与其他浏览器甚至某些安全套件相比， Internet Explorer确实提供了更好的恶意网站和下载识别和报告。(identification and reporting)另一个很棒的功能是Internet Explorer允许用户直接从浏览器的主界面轻松报告恶意网站，从而有助于提高所有用户的安全性。
我们希望看到所有主要浏览器在这方面的更多改进，包括Internet Explorer。

省电功能
您可能没有意识到这一点，但Internet Explorer允许您在不插电的情况下从电池中榨取更多电量。您在浏览时获得较少的硬件加速，而不会使事情变得非常缓慢并且电池时间更长。
以下是它的工作原理：在Internet Explorer 9中浏览Web时节省(Web)电池电量(Battery Power)。
将网站固定到Windows 任务栏(Windows Taskbar)或开始菜单(Start Menu)
此功能并不是新功能，它已被某些浏览器采用，例如Google Chrome。但是，我认为它很有用，并且我认为所有浏览器都应该为他们的用户提供这样的功能。
如果您想了解有关固定工作原理的更多信息，请阅读本教程：使用Internet Explorer固定网站的完整指南(Complete Guide)。
结论
尽管您可能没有使用Internet Explorer作为您的主要浏览器，但我相信您同意本文中提到的功能的实用性。在您关闭此页面之前，我希望您分享您的观点：您是否希望其他浏览器采用其他Internet Explorer功能？(Internet Explorer)Internet Explorer在未来版本中应该改进的地方是什么？您是否希望从其他浏览器中采用任何功能？
5 Internet Explorer Features Other Browsers Should Adopt
Even though nоt many websites cоver Internet Explorer extensively and write interesting articles and tutorials about it, this browser still manages to hold the title of the most used browser. One of the reasons for it is that it provides some interesting functionality that other browsers don't have or have not fully adopted. Here is a list of 5 great features Internet Explorer has and other browser do not, which I would love to see being adopted by everybody.
Visual Search Providers
One of the features I love most in Internet Explorer is the ability to install and use visual search provides. They allow you not only to see suggestions for your searches but they are also accompanied by a visual preview that includes a picture and some text description.
Very useful and looks great. Unfortunately, though, this feature is not used by many search providers and I would like to see more of it both in Internet Explorer and other browsers.
Stats about the Performance Impact of Add-ons
As highlighted in the article Internet Explorer 9 - How to Improve the Load & Navigation Speed, the browser monitors the performance impact of all add-ons and encourages users to disable those that slow things down.
I wish more browsers would have a similar behavior and share in a transparent way how much each add-on contributes to slowing the browsing experience.
Improved Security
If you follow the tech news on a regular basis, you definitely learned about Internet Explorer being declared the most secure browser or, at least an important contender to the title. The last debate, found here: Browser Study Sheds Light On Firefox's Insecurity (And Google Approves This Message), considers Google Chrome and Internet Explorer as being the top two contenders for the title.
Leaving this debate aside, during the tests we made for the Security for Everyone series, we noticed that Internet Explorer definitely provides better identification and reporting of malicious websites and downloads, when compared to other browsers and even some security suites. Another great feature is that Internet Explorer allows users to easily report malicious websites, directly from the main interface of the browser, thus helping increase security for all users.
We wish to see more improvements in this area from all major browsers, including Internet Explorer.

Power Saving Features
You might not be aware of this, but Internet Explorer allows you to squeeze a bit more juice from your battery, when running unplugged. You get less hardware acceleration while browsing, without making things terribly slow and a bit more battery time.
Here is how it works: Save Battery Power While Browsing the Web in Internet Explorer 9.
Pinning Websites to the Windows Taskbar or the Start Menu
This feature is not new and it has been adopted by some browsers, such as Google Chrome. However, I consider it useful and I think all browsers should offer such capabilities to their users.
If you would like to know more about how pinning works, read this tutorial: The Complete Guide to Pinning Websites with Internet Explorer.
