Win8 Consumer Preview IE10 Browser Help Documentation

The consumer preview version of Microsoft's new generation of new partner IE10 browser is also displayed in front of us.

First, why can't the Internet Explorer 10 Consumer Preview toolbar and add-ons be used?

Internet Explorer 10Win8 provides an experience with "no add-ons". It supports HTML 5 for video content, but you can't install toolbars and add-ons in Internet Explorer 10.

If the page you are viewing requires an add-on or uses Flash, you can view the content by opening the website using Internet Explorer on your desktop. To do this, swipe on the right edge of the screen (if you are using the mouse, point to the top right corner of the screen), tap or click Settings, and then tap or click Use the desktop.

Second, where can I find my favorites?

Internet Explorer 10 does not use traditional favorites from previous versions. However, you can pin the site to the "Start" screen or use the New tab to open a list of fixed sites and frequently visited sites. If you open Internet Explorer on your desktop, you can use traditional favorites, but you can't access fixed sites from the “start” screen.
