I tried to use the harmelss exploit example but it did not appear to work, ie I wasnot 'exploited'

Hmmmm I have been using it for a while and quite like it, I like how it does not
waste so much space at the top, I seem to manage fine so far with out all
the extra stuff I had, but time will tell.
It's nice there is a 'new kid on the block' who appreciates I want my screen
space as tall as possible, maybe the designer was unfortunate enough to
have to work with a widescreen monitor :rotfl:

However I am a little concerned about privacy, I have noticed that
peridocally it appears to be having a good 'thrash' of my harddrive, I wonder
what it is looking for?

I do hope it has not found my stash of !!!!!! yet

The animated smilies are very slow..........:rotfl:

Its not bad, think ill still use firefox though, it dosnt ask if you want to save the tabs so when you open it next them tabs open up,

Can't say i like the bookmark management - or the lack of a search bar like FF has.

Shall be sticking with FF for the moment

the bar where you put a web address eg https://www.bbc.co.uk is also the search bar

I think it'll be hard to beat Firefox, I've been using it for years, and in my experience it's the best browser (I use it on Windows and Mac). I have no problems with FF, so won't be racing to try the Google offering, any more than I will when IE 8 is properly released.

I have been using Opera for a few years now, another great browser, just started testing FF this week as it has a feature from Opera that works much better on FF, and so far I'm impressed. I have relatively simple needs from a browser and doubt either Google or MSFT's next one will bring anything new to my table, but I'm open minded.
