Internet Explorer 8 - InPrivate
 

I just downloaded and installed Microsofts Internet Explorer 8, which is still in beta. So far I like it. I guess the most interesting feature is 'InPrivate browsing'.

InPrivate Browsing prevents (accroding to Microsoft) your browsing history, temporary Internet files, form data, cookies, usernames and passwords from being retained by the browser.

Other useful features are (copied from microsoft.com):

Today websites increasingly pull content in from multiple sources, providing tremendous value to consumer and sites alike. Users are often not aware that some content, images, ads and analytics are being provided from third party websites or that these websites have the ability to potentially track their behavior across multiple websites. InPrivate Blocking provides users an added level of control and choice about the information that third party websites can potentially use to track browsing activity.

Enhanced delete browsing history
Now when deleting browsing history, you can choose to preserve cookies and temporary Internet files for sites in your Favorites folder. This helps to protect your information and privacy while preserving your data on your trusted favorite sites. Your preferences and cookies are preserved, helping you to get to your trusted sites faster with greater confidence.

Question is, does the new microsoft internet explorer browser patch up all the javascript vulnerabilities like right mouse click disabling and how javascript can give you nonstop messageboxes (not popup windows) that never go away until you go into task manager and forcibly close the browser's process? Probably these are still vulnerabilities.
