Microsoft has released a new Developer Channel for Internet
Explorer 11 which is now available for download. Internet Explorer released
Developer Channel, is a fully functioning browser designed to give web
developers more features. The good feature of Developer Channel release is that
it can run alongside and independently of IE11 and is available for developers
using Windows 8.1 and Windows 7. It has all of the features from IE11 plus some
new ones: support for WebDriver, support for the Gamepad API, updates to WebGL
and enhancements to the F12 Developer Tools.
So if you are a web developer, you can get more tools using
the developer tools in IE Developer Channel release. And since it can run
independently of IE11, so you can still use your default IE11 browser without
any change.
IE Developer Channel comes with even more improvements to
the F12 developer tools, including:
An enhanced debugging experience with event breakpoints that
help you get to your event-driven bugs faster.
Richer analysis capabilities throughout the Memory and UI
Responsiveness profilers, which support further reduction of noise through
multi-dimensional timeline filter, while further increasing the semantic value
of the data being reported by lighting up performance.measure() based instrumentation
and dominator folding.
An improved navigation experience that provides more
keyboard shortcuts (ctrl+[ and ctrl + ]), as well as new header notifications,
which allows you to quickly determine whether any of the profiling tools are
running or how many errors your page has.
IE Developer Channel also comes with support for the
emerging WebDriver standard through which web developers can write tests to
automate web browsers to test their sites. The Channel also comes with support
of the emerging Gamepad API standard that lets you use JavaScript to add
gamepad support to your web apps and games.
