I'm using it now... It's insanely f*cking fast. I don't know how it's possible. Websites load almost instantaneously. It makes Firefox look slow.

It's only an alpha, but it's solid.

It seems like after I click a link, there is a delay before it loads.

It may be my imagination, but I think the browser is caching the page a second longer so that it appears to load instantly.

Sweet avatar, FX.

So it looks like minefield is the pre-release for FF 3.1?

That's what I figured. It must be a technology release, I don't think it's a good idea to start a whole new series over one new technology.

Still pretty cool though. I do find it to be faster than what I normally use.

Hehe, I'm actually not a Linux user because I need Windows for the games I play, but I support Linux and hope it is compatible with my games someday... In my dreams...

Probably the most stable browser I've used. You must have something weird going on. Contact their support section, bet you can get it fixed easy.

Been using this browser for a couple of days now. It seems to be a good fast brower almost identical to firefox but the plugins don't work. Mind you a whole bucnh of plug ins dont work for FF3 still.

I wouldnt say that its blazing fast. I notice a small difference.

I saw many other people having the same problem, but couldn't find a solution.

I've been using google's chrome, it's ok but still has it's problems.

agreed ... it's super stable. it's rare that my firefox crashes ... and i use it on 4 separate computers.

however, one nice feature will be when they add independent tabs (like chrome and IE) so that if one tab crashes the entire browser doesn't shit itself.

btw i4NI, i like your avatar. you made it yourself??

i guess koreans may be offended by it a little, because of the clear similarity to the japanese war flag. Smile
