Does anyone know if there is something “very useful” in IE8?

I was using IE6 before and switched to firefox because IE6 was not having multiple tabs. But with the release of IE7 I have come back on IE7 again. But I am not sure if installing IE8 is worth because I could not see some major feature in the new release (except private sessions).

Does anyone have idea of some useful features which comes with IE8? And is it safe enough to use it?

f0dder:
Why go from FireFox to IE? O_o

Anyway, if you're on Vista and you're smart enough to keep UAC turned on, IE8 adds a sandbox mode that should make browsing the web safer. I still don't see why anybody sensible would use IE instead of FF3, though.

FWIW, sadly, there's at least one country where so many of the sites use ActiveX-based things that FF-only use isn't really practical.

Thankfully I am smart enough to use UAC.

tomos:
are you wondering if it's better than IE7 or than FF3 ?

f0dder is definitely saying he thinks FF3 better, but also sounds like he's saying IE8 better than IE7
