decided to download the new Internet Explorer 9 Beta browser to see if it supports CSS3 border-radius code (it does). \u00a0I was struck by how blatantly Microsoft ripped off Google Chrome, a browser I&#8217;ve been using since the end of 2008. \u00a0This is okay with me, because I love Chrome &#8211; but if I was Google&#8217;s Chrome browser department, I&#8217;d probably be upset. \u00a0That said, I&#8217;ll show some examples below of the similarities between the new IE9-Beta with Chrome &amp; Firefox.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>IE9-Beta&#8217;s Similarities with Chrome &amp; Firefox:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sleek look with no Menu Bar, Status Bar, Bookmarks Bar, etc&#8230; as a default setting (like Chrome).<\/li>\n<li>Address Bar doubles as a search engine (like Chrome).<\/li>\n<li>The Icons are nearly identical between IE9 and Chrome &#8211; the little house (home), the star (bookmark), the refresh arrow&#8230; \u00a0Granted, all three browsers have the same icons now, but IE used to be very different in this aspect.<\/li>\n<li>When you open a new tab on IE9&#8217;s tabbed browsing (by default) you go to a page with your 8 most visited sites shown nearly identically to the way Chrome lays them out.<\/li>\n<li>Maybe I&#8217;m getting petty here, but the larger &#8220;back&#8221; button, smaller &#8220;front&#8221; (?) button are similar to Firefox&#8217;s browser.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_619\" class=\"thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 550px\"><a

flattery.<\/h3>\n<p>Either way, I like the new IE9, because I like Google Chrome. \u00a0If anything, Firefox is the browser that needs to catch up with Chrome and IE to render CSS better (as of the time of this writing). \u00a0I&#8217;m guessing Microsoft got complacent after decimating Netscape and years of 90% browser market share, but now that IE has lost half of its users to the competition (see chart below, from <a title=\"Wikipedia's &quot;Web Browser Market Share&quot; article\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Usage_share_of_web_browsers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a>), the IE team seem to have finally awaken&#8230; and decided that copying what&#8217;s working in the marketplace (Chrome) is the fastest way to getting back into the
