Posting from it now....well, one thing I can say is that it seems to render the AT forums correctly so far (which Opera never did for me).

I like the interface so far.
Snappy as all hell.
Flash installed and works perfectly well.

Using it now. Really snappy (thanks to Webkit and the new JavaScript engine) but the UI is terrible. Feels like I am using the AOL browser.

For some odd reason I can't download it. The 'Accept and install' button is greyed out.

HOLY CRAP this browser is fast as hell!! :Q

And it automatically ported over my bookmarks/passwords/search history/etc. on first boot without me having to do a thing.

Wow, it's really quick - scrolling is fast and javascript and rendering is insanely quick.

It crashes when i click the favorites button...hah.

Posting from it now. And praying someone makes an adblocker for it quickly. It is quite a bit faster than my FF, so far.

the UI is pretty much non-existent, but I do know what you mean as far is it being kinda childish

Fast, but I don't care much for the UI but can live with it. My only problem so far is when I click to open the options up it crashes every time.

Right click on the browser frame -> Task Manager then click on "Stats for nerds". Pretty cool :)
