I'm really looking forward to this now.

Google has never let me down yet so this will be interesting.

ok its out,

Using it right now, its nice and clean, at first its quite distracting how few buttons there are and it feels worrying but after a few minutes I don't seem like I'm missing anything which is quite strange.

I've never released how much I don't click on all the buttons in other browsers.

Nice to see it's got spell checker built in too!

I'm a little saddened to see no support for Linux yet.

That's what I was starting to think.. Google hardly lets anyone down, is Mozilla's user base going to fall to its death? IE's user base I couldn't care less about though so I suppose its good in that respect

[xBPM07x]

I say it is going to fall, just not for some time. And IE will never fall, as long as it keeps coming on new PC's as the default browser anyways...

actually I think microsoft has been sued before for IE being on windows as default. some sort of disadvantage to the other companies thing.... idk, google it.

they sure did for windows media player and in some regions windows media is not installed by default on XP and must be downloaded.

I dont think this will fall though
the speeds are really great
and simplistic things are sometimes greater
though i do miss my ff addons and greaesemonkey scripts when using it

this shows what i mean by speed
