New to IE10 is "Enhanced Protected mode", which is meant to better isolate website content when multiple tabs are open, preventing a malicious web page from accessing any of your other open tabs.

Change for the Better?

The drastic changes in the Metro version of IE10 were done for a very specific reason: to make web-browsing more accessible to touch-friendly devices. Users of Windows 8 on a tablet will find IE10 intuitive and easy to use. For those who haven't browsed on a mobile device and are using a mouse and keyboard on a desktop or laptop, the IE10 Metro app will be confusing and inefficient, at least at first. Those users will find the desktop version of IE10, which is very similar to previous versions, to be a better choice.
