So after IE8 crashes, or an individual tab crashes, you'll have the option of restoring it, as you can see below.
Some URLs are so long and complex that it can be tough to immediately decipher which domain you're currently visiting. In IE8, in the address bar, only the domain (for example, computerworld.com) is black; everything else is in gray. That way, you can see immediately where you are. Check it out, below.
By the way, if you're testing out IE8 for yourself, you might want to check my previous blogs about IE8, one which detailed how IE8 hosed my system, and the other about how I fixed it. Also, I'll be posting a fuller review of IE8 on Computerworld soon, so check for that soon.
