I like it, very smooth and fast. It'll be better when the geeks have got hold of it and designed some applications.

There's a thread running in 'Computers and Stuff' about it.

I'm having a tinker with it now, it seems blistering quick!

Will be trying it with some "complicated" web applications later to see if it falls on its face or not!

Anything about it that makes it much better than IE/Opera/any other of the umpteen browsers already available?

I simply can't be arsed to look all the details up and compare them to othher browsers, so if someone would be kind enough to neatly sum it up while I sit here drinking beer and scratching my nads that would be just dandy smile

thats the one!

It seems to display boobs ok, not so happy with the snatch resolution!

"seriously" though it seems to have failed at the first hurdle with running plugins of various types. tried 4 or 5 and all failed so far.

Is ActiveX supposed to work on it?

Ill consider it when it does mouse gestures and everything else firefox does. Probably within 3 months of it's proper release. Assuming they ever take it out of beta.

Another download link http://www.google.com/chrome

Using it at the moment - appears smart - a tad slow though. The download was really quick. I'm interested in the developer stuff. It's less a new browser, and more a potential new OS.
