I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Can you block ads (including google ads) with it?  If you can't, then it's a non-starter for me.

I don't really see what is so amazing .. it's faster, but you can do the same thing with FasterFox.

I thought the memory footprint might be smaller (no add ons, which is as negative) but it's running pretty heavy.. bigger than Firefox, just split into multiple processes.

I do the like the fast scrolling by default.

You can resize any posting box on the web with the 6 dots in the bottom right hand corner.

The downloads interface as well as the bookmark setup is vastly superior.

Also, Firefox + Plug-Ins does not really count. It needs to be a one-stop thing. Managing other shit is a pain in the ass. If FireFox actually incorporated half the good plugins in a decent amount of time, it would be a decent comparison. Unfortunately, it falls flat in that regard.

Edit: Ah, yes, and CTRL+Shift+N is monstrous, as ookii just pointed out.

Clarification : I want to be able to open a new incognito window and not have to type in username and passwords to sites I've entered in normal browsing. A way of using the cookies/usernames and whatnot that already exist for sites but not creating new ones or saving histories, like a read-only mode.

scores 77/100 on the Acid3 test.

there does not seem to be a mechanism to add plugins.  So I cannot get Java to work...

The resizing the text box feature is cool. Incognito mode is pretty cool too.

I think the Firefox approach to 'use plugins to add functionality' is a particular philosophy. You may not agree with it, but their stance is probably that letting users add the features they want rather than giving them stuff they may not use is a better experience. Plus, it gives you options - what if I don't like how Chrome does the text box resizing? I can't build or install my own module to change it.
