Pretty awesome! Found this on article on CNET: http://crave.cnet.co.uk/software/0,39029471,49301219,00.htm

Amazing how slow IE7 is. I knew it was slow, but not that slow!

Hmm something smells fishy here. Hmm yes, maybe its because they used beta and alpha versions compared to stable releases of Opera and Firefox.

I would wait to compare the stable releases instead of alpha and beta versions.

Yes. We will see then.

I would still recommend trying out the beta, it's awesome!

I'm downloading it now, and I'm sure it's great. But does benchmarking it next to IE7 really do it any justice? What isn't faster than IE7?

Wow, this is incredibly fast. Too bad they had to try to reinvent the tab wheel. Why can't they just let some thins be... so annoying.

I think its an OK browser. But I find the text-formatting to be annoyingly soft. Is there any way to turn it off?

My favourite browser is Opera. But they dont have a Delicious extension so that means I am using Firefox... dry.gif
