Cool. I tried the alpha/beta/whatever it was when it got all the publicity, but deinstalled it again quickly - it was very unstable on OS X. Let me know when it's stable again, supports noscript and adblock and I'll be on board (FF is getting a bit flaky especially with its java handling)...

It doesn't matter how good it gets it's crippled by design.

You can not operate it without using the keyboard, there is no address-bar
drop-down of recent addresses, instead of 2 clicks the procedure for pulling
up a recent address is 5-7 clicks. This is by design, it forces you back to
google.com in order to view the results and adverts that come with them.

Basically the design is screwed up, just to force u to their website,
instead of giving you a usable piece of software.
