IE 10 features in Windows Phone 8

Windows Phone 8 comes with IE 10 as its default browser. Compared to its version on Windows Phone 7.5 there are some useful enhancements which came both from developers and user requests. So lets take a look at them :

Replace Refresh / Stop button:  Now you can change this button and replace it with Tab or even Favourites. This is particularly useful for users who loved to switch between pages quickly. However if you keep track of just one page and need to always refresh, stick to the default settings.

Change Search Provides: Windows Phone 8 now allows you to choose between Google and Bing as your default search provider.  Though there is no option to add any other but this addresses most of users request.

Do Not Track : IE 10 now supports do not track i.e. it sends information to website not to track your browsing data. However it is up to the websites to honour it.

Website File storage :

It is possible that websites you visit would like to store some data like RSS feeds. IE 10 now allows you to manage this as it takes space on your phone. You can choose to delete it on per website basis.

Data Sense Service :

This is a carrier dependent feature which reduces amount of data download while browsing. This is an excellent feature but since its not available on all mobile operators, chances are you will be missing it. As far as I know, its only available with Verizon, US.
