Not sure how many of you are into web design and web development. But so far this browser is like a breathe of fresh air. Well it isn't much diff from safari or FF, but then again it is.

Check it out.

So? How is it? Is it really faster? Any hiccups with any 3rd party stuff?

SO far I absolutely love it. It is blazing fast, with some features I hope other browsers get or just go away

There is this terribly irritating status bar popup thing at the bottom that makes me wanna kick all the engineers in the nuts for implementing. But other than that. All it needs is a few plugins and I will not be using FF no more.

well as a web dev tool, I dont think it qualifies. With a few plugins tho, it will be great. But a better faster browser it is. IMO

So far its pretty fast. Organized and sleek. Came across one error where it didn't find a page, but when I loaded it into Firefox it did. So far its pretty early to say much about it. But as I play more it with it...I'll see whats really under the hood.
