Fast & fluid
Built for Speed
We’ve designed Internet Explorer to be fast and fluid. From opening the browser to loading pages with stunning app-like performance on sites, you’ll be surprised how fast the web can be.
Fast start
Internet Explorer loads webpages faster than other leading browsers. In fact, in a recent study conducted by Strangeloop, they found Internet Explorer loaded web pages 8% faster than Chrome.

Sites perform like apps
Thanks to an optimised JavaScript engine and hardware acceleration, sites in Internet Explorer are more responsive. In fact they’re so responsive that you would think you’re running an app and not a website.
Hardware accelerated
Loads of tabs open? Now you can multi-task even faster. Internet Explorer speeds up your browsing by tapping into the power of your device's graphics processing unit (GPU) to render graphics and text.

Sites that glide
Touch the screen and it responds to your fingers instantly. When you scroll, it moves with you. When you zoom, it moves in unison. Our touch interface is so responsive that it makes sites feel like they’re stuck to your fingers.
