4. The "One Box" displays websites, search results, and more : You can type anything from search terms to URLs in Explorer's "One Box" at the top of the window. Bing search results and recently viewed pages show up in real time as you type. It's very similar to the way Chrome's URL bar works.

The "Snap" feature allows you to view two web pages side by side, filling up the entire screen.

8. Better crash recovery : This is another feature found in Chrome. Explorer isolates each open tab individually, so if one crashes, the others won't be affected.

9. Domain highlighting helps you avoid link baiting : Explorer now has domain highlighting, which tells you the site the link belongs to before you click.

10. Manage add-ons for faster browsing : Add-ons are great tools for your web browser, but too many can slow everything down. Explorer has an add-on performance advisor that will suggest which add-ons to switch off or delete in order to maximize your performance.
