I wouldn't bother with it yet, let the bugs get worked out of it first, Mozilla works fine for me.

I'm using it right now. It's fast as hell.
But yeah, I'm also gonna wait. It's just neat to test it out right now. |

I read the "comic" earlier today. Looks pretty slick.
Where do you go to download the browser? |

Only available for Windows right now. I'll have to wait a while before I can install it in Ubuntu.

| I just switched to Firefox from Safari a couple of days ago, and it's a lot better. Safari had too many problems. |

| I made the switch to Google Chrome from Firefox 3 today. The minimalist UI takes my fancy, especially since with Firefox I always had the address and search bar in one row and no toolbars to maximise my screen real estate. It is much, much faster than Firefox and this is most noticeable on my EEE PC which would lag a bit when opening new tabs via middleclicking links. |

Chrome is the only browser that does multi-threading. If you don't know what that is it's real simple. When you launch a browser... web pages, images, flash, audio, and video on every tab all load into a single memory process. Over a period of time this stuff overloads the browser to point where it either becomes unstable or crashes. With multi-threading each tab has its own memory space. When a web page becomes unstable just bring up Chrome's internal process manager, kill that sick tab, and the memory is freed up for other tabs... the browser doesn't crash. When you leave a web page the memory is also freed up... the browser doesn't crash. Additionally every web page is multi-threaded. This means a page can quickly load because all the bloat on a web page, that traditionally slows it down (e.g. JavaScript, Flash, and so forth), are now on separate threads!
To call this revolutionary is an understatement. Of course it takes a Google to make something like this happen. Expect multi-threaded browsers to become the industry standard. A win-win for all of us!

| It seems to have a text editing issue for me. As an example, attempt to edit one of your post and you may see what I mean. |

So no more ONE homepage... I can now have MANY homepages.
