wow...they fixed their website...

anyway, after looking at the browser, my first impression was it's firefox with a skin on. by the looks of it it pretty much *is* firefox with a couple of extra features added (such as integrated blogging and online bookmarks). the layout of menus and the options (i hear you say, nay! the tabs in the firefox options dialogue are down the left hand side, not the top! The thing is, in Firefox 1.5 (which you can download the beta of) the tabs have gone along the top for quite some time now) dialogue are essentially the same.

pros:
damn pretty

cons:
-uses the word 'favorites'. i prefer 'bookmarks' because with it i don't have to get frustrated at how my software uses american spellings of words
-almost identical to firefox
-has yahoo as default search in the searchbar instead of a decent search like google. i guess this is just personal preference though.
-has also copied some elements from safari such as the annoying thing where the close buttons for the tabs are on the tabs, not in one central place. again, this is just personal preference.
