I guess I will wait to try it out, well no choice really since I have a Mac. By the time it is released for Mac I will have forgotten about it anyway.

What is this Crashing Tabs they speak of? Must be a Windoze thing.

Don't be smug Mac pricks, please. It makes the rest of us look bad. :icon_wink:

Safari crashes on me fairly regularly, but I'm using the nightly Webkit builds and that's the penalty. The new Javascript engine is smokin' fast, though.

Surfing on it now. Seems quicker than Firefox.

I just don't think I could switch. I've been a hardcore Opera user for years, ever since they came out with tabs and mouse gestures. Add in fullscreen browsing and I'm happy as :shit:

Definitely is faster, a lot faster. Not ready to let go of Firefox, yet...

I finally got this browser going...

It is fast. Looks pretty good.

Apparently, it will conflict with CitiBank's Virtual Account Number software - CitiVAN. If you're using it, uninstall the old version and install the latest version 3.7.3.0. At least that seems to have been my problem. :eusa_whistle:

Netflix won't work on it.
