IceCream Tuesday Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 @Bones:> Looks nice and simple, just the way chrome attracted me.Exactly! throw some tabs on it, and I may switch over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khachaturian Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Its on his 'Coming soon' features,Also, I don't know how easy it'll be to type 'search:' before stuff (instead of just typing it straight up in chrome), but the fact that I'm comparing you to chrome means you've got me interested. Or maybe its just that i'm comparing you to my current browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jna Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Looks epic.Does it have good security? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The security should be pretty top notch. Comparable to Safari and Google Chrome cause we use the same underlying engine that handles the javascript, cookies and etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
