Microsoft has released a second test version of Internet Explorer 8, delivering a comprehensive update to the popular Web browser.

According to the software company, this latest version - Beta 2 - of Internet Explorer -which has a market share of around 75 percent- , comes with new features to enhance privacy, security and usability.

Microsoft launched the first version of test - or beta 1 - IE 8 in March, but only suggested that Web developers might have a first look at the new version of the browser. This latest version is intended for a broader audience.

The latest version of Internet Explorer has features found in Firefox 3, including an "smart" address bar and redirects users to Web sites you have visited before.

Internet Explorer 8 also offers a "Private Navigation"mode, which ensures that the history, temporary Internet files and cookies can not be recorded in the user's computer. There is also a security function that allows a user to block content from third parties.
