On the plus side, looks pretty, goes like greased lightning, renders locostbuilders properly and the front page seems a good idea.

On the downsides no ad-blocking, gestures or indeed any other plug-ins yet - though there will be hundreds very soon I suspect.

Had a play this morning....

Looks quite interesting, the way if parses the pages is also quite innovative...

However, with no pluggins etc it is not amazing....



Give it a few months, then see if it can compete with FF....

Does it come bundled with the Google bar thingy? I hate it and try and avoid it like the plague. On one installation I even unticked the box for the googlebar and it still put it on the system!!

No google bar. It even asks which search engine should be the default on install.

Had a bit of a play....... can you get rid off all the history links that seem to make it far to obviously easy for the Mrs to see what car parts you've been wasting (or are thinking of wasting) all your money on?

lol, it wasn't actually that which got me in trouble (but obviously it did cross my mind ) I got the third degree because of all the history links to engines for sale when 'I already have 3 in the shed, the hall needs decorating and we need a new kitchen'
