It's better than IE but then again so is a kick in the balls . Its not better than Firefox ,Opera or Safari
Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

well aware of that part, but the technical aspect of its a bit much, as with Amallon i am hoping someone else can use it first and report on it here

IE7 yes, IE 8, not so sure. I think IE 8 is better than Firefox, but its whatever you're used to I suppose
Every time you open your mouth you have this wonderful ability to continually confirm what I think.

I like it and use it all the time now

it shows your most used pages as thumbnails making it a lot handier to get to your most frequent pages

Also opens pages as new tabs so it is handy to shift between them

I always reckon you can try this things and if you dont like it then delete it  nothing lost

IE is dog slow when rendering pages . FF opens pages in tabs too.

Maybe 7 but the 8 benchmarks I seen where quite impressive. If you want quick rendering of pages then Safari 4 is the way to go.

Its also got an Incognito mode, if you want to lookup something and not have it on your history/drop drop menu, for whatever reason  ;)

So does Firefox. Use that all the time now, hardly use IE at all. Had Chrome installed but never bothered with it.
