Haven't yet figured out how to activate that feature though.

Yep. Working great now. Stupid ad sites.

Is it just me, but this beta seems to be faster at loading pages than the previous version of IE5.5

I upgraded to the beta and now I get a new toolbar with eBoom.com stuff on it. How do I get rid of this toolbar!!!
