I've also heard good things about IE8.

unfortunately my c++ skills have atrophied to the point where they wouldn't be much help, or I would.
Haha, shit. I just noticed I can resize this text window, interesting
I'm pretty impressed by that comic. Some of it I didn't quite understand but they definitely made an effort to put things in layman's terms.
No adblock, no bugmenot, not really many customization options. It's more for low-level users.
I like the novelty of new stuff, too.

Resizing text areas has been in WebKit for ages.
We'll see how long the buzz lasts.
It feels faster than Firefox. The UI is pretty nice. Buzz and OH MY GOD IT'S GOOGLE aside, I'm sold on this unless a showstopper bug rears its ugly head.
I used Firefox from Phoenix 0.3, so I guess this is as good a time to switch as any. Kegwen fucked around with this message on 09-03-2008 at 12:04 AM.
Also, anything that you can't control in the options menu... you can't control. I'd like to change the way auto complete works, but oh well, can't change that in chrome unless you feel like downloading the source and making your own build.
With an about:config equivalent and extensions, this might be comparable to firefox.

So I'll be sticking with IE7 for a while :/

Yes it does, they just aren't bolded. Also, sometimes it isn't the best at it. For instance it can't suggest aren't when you type arn't but whatever.

I dunno if that's Chrome's fault, because I keep getting randomly logged out on Firefox.
