Manage addons for Internet Explorer 8
It's odd that not more is made of addons for Internet Explorer, given that they are so popular in Firefox. One reason may be that not all of them are free but they are still very useful.
Getting addons onto a browser is one thing but managing or removing them is sometimes quite another. Firefox has a capable manager that can be used to disable addons and a way to access their options. Internet Explorer has as well although it looks more like the techie management tools rather than something welcoming to ordinary users.
The good news is that this has been addressed in Internet Explorer 8 and there is a good explanation of the changes on the IEBlog along with a peek of what the new management window will look like.
It's probably a very personal gripe but one thing I'm looking forward to is that the new window can be resized; it is very frustrating when text will not fit, and it's not unheard of for these fixed windows not to have a scroll bar either.
If you want a look at the sort of addons available, head over to the Windows Marketplace.
