Anybody here use it? I've just started to use it and it seems pretty good even within windows 7 (64bit).

I have windows 7 now, tell me a bit more about the difference because I use FF.

Last time I used it it was in beta and I didn't notice much of a difference, tho I didn't do any tests or anything. Seem to remember there was a problem with a common plugin - maybe flash or shockwave or something. Any problems like that still?

Yeah all that seems to work for me, running 3.5 at the moment - trying to minimise the amount of 32 bit apps just for ****s and giggles, after all what's the point in having a 64bit os?! :p

Do you have the 64 bit version?

I expect the 64-bit version, being new(ish), probably limits your options as far as plug-ins go, so if you use any, make sure you check they're compatible first.

I don't use plugins so I'm ok. :)

Think you're confusing plugins with addons - flash is a plugin for example, and I imagine you use that :)

I've never had any plugin problems using the 64bit *nix version, but guess there's little parity with the Windows plugins (think most of them use Totem). Ubuntu wraps 32bit flash, as the 64bit Adobe version is only alpha/beta.

Oh ok yeah, well youtube seems to work - that's all I ever use flash for I think.
