What privacy features are new or improved in Internet Explorer 9?
Tracking Protection is a new feature in Internet Explorer 9 that helps protect users from being tracked online. Today’s websites often use content hosted by third parties. This content can include images, text, tracking beacons, cookies, and scripts. Third-party content can thus be used to track you across multiple sites. These third parties can collect information such as the URLs you are browsing or your IP address, without your knowledge or consent. Tracking Protection functionality allows the browser to block third-party content based on Tracking Protection Lists which users install. Microsoft is working with third parties to independently create and author these tracking protection lists.
