    Just installed it there. There's nothing dramatically different to it compared to Firefox or IE. It's a slimmed down minimal version of them. I like it. I like their start page too. Keeps track of your recently visited pages. Now I'm one click away from Irishkop.com whenever I start my browser :)

    I downloaded it also. It appears sleeker than IE and FF. I wouldn't use it for anything too serious (banking, shopping) until it comes off Beta.

    100% agree with that. I love the look of it though so I'm looking forward to a stable and secure release.

    Btw, that incognito thing is a Godsend :D
