Can't say it is that impressive on first use, but then a browser is a browser. And anything works better than IE7. | | | Distinguished Member with 3,426 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: Ontario, Canada Experience: Getting it | | Quote:

#10 | That comic book thing irritates me! Anyway for starters . . . well on the user side it works, well like a browser. First thing, it has fewer buttons and bars. I keep thinking half my browser is missing as it does not have a top bar with the name of the application, but rather the tabs are right at the top. Second thing, it imported all my bookmarks from firefox without any issues.
On the down side, the browser mangles the menu bar on my webpage. This problem also occurs when using Safari, although not a problem in IE7, opera or firefox. Guess I'll just have to figure out what the glitch is with my menu

#15 | *sigh* apparently, you download an installer that will then download the browser. For some reason, the installer can't download the browser even though the installer downloaded ok.
Oh well, I'll play with it later I guess.
