Its very fast.. supposed to run java 10.5 times as fast as Firefox, but I cant live without my extensions. If I had to make a choice for a fast lightweight browser, Id choose Opera.

I am using it now. Has "incognito" mode hahaha. Seems very quick, and although the main window uses less memory that IE so far, it does seem to have multiple instances that add up.

One problem with the site is all the fonts look really carpy? Anything I can do about it? I have the fonts set to Times New Roman in Chrome but they all look like courier to me, and look naff. Any way I can change it?

Been using it all day and I have to say I rather like it! It opens multiple instances of itself for each tab so it can close them and retrieve otherwise potentially lost memory space - it has a lot of well thought out features - I am going to stick with it

Oh and its pretty damn fast too!
