Make pinning websites honor Windows 8 pinning metatags
Windows Phone 8 should honor the misapplication-* metatags that Windows 8 uses to control the tile behavior for Pinned Sites. If I, as a web developer, are already sending that information down the pipe, then IEMobile should honor them instead of taking a screenshot or using Google Mobile hacks.

Internet Explorer on windows phone 8 needs better functionality with drop down menus.
Internet Explorer on windows phone 8 needs better functionality with drop down menus. Currently many menus will only stay open by holding down on them then disappear when released. This is making it almost impossible to navigate some sites on my phone.

support have a HTTPS mode for internet explorer
V. secure internet browsing can be provided with a 'secure mode' i.e. a mode where HTTPS is always on. This means that when one logs in to social networks via public wifi hotspots it would be ****** for hackers to steal information.
The mode can be provided in the settings of IE.

proxy settings for IE
Please add proxy settings (HTTP and SOCKS) for Internet Explorer and authorization username/password as well. Because some Wi-Fi connections require proxy and authorization.

There is no option for manually set ip address in nokia lumia.
I tried to connect a wifi connection, where particular ip addresses are working only, so the ip address should be set manually.
My phone is getting a random ip address automatically and that's why I am not able to connect with internet.20 votes -
Web browser that remembers user names/passwords
Every other browser on every other phone I've ever used offers to remember user names and passwords for a given website, and yet this highly toted IE9 browser doesn't have that feature. It needs it.

Adaptive Streaming support for IE 10
Lack of adaptive streaming support on your browser (HLS or Smooth Streaming) makes Windows Phone totally wortless compared to iPhone and Android for watching broadcasting sites !
Don't you guys at Microsoft know the impact of not supporting this? Not been able to use BBC-Play or SVT-Play makes people not choose WP-phones in Britain and Sweden and other countries!
