Doesn't zoom in on flash. Makes watching iplayer in a 200% window impossible

Still, it's certainly impressing me at the moment.

*Shift ESC is undeniably geeky!*

This part of the T&Cs seems to be causing a bit of a fuss, i'll let you make your own minds up.

I didn't really want to like it, but after biting the bullet and downloading it, i am warming to it a hell of a lot. Its speed is light years ahead of Firefox which is what's always held me back. For me Opera still gives me a little more functionality that i can do without, for instance custom letter searched, and tonnes of little things i can't be bothered going into, but my oh my this has superb potential. For a beta product its undeniably excellent! Once a few plugins start appearing for it and so on this will do well...

//Edit: Yeah miss mouse gestures and the million keyboard shortcuts i have wildly.

For some reason it won't import my FF settings and bookmarks and coupled with no linux version, it's a no from me.

To be fair though, it is a first release beta. It's a test version. If you find something wrong, tell Google, that's the entire point of them releasing it. If you don't tell them, they won't know it's a problem and it won't get fixed.

Not sure if I'm going to get on with this. Don't really like the layout.

Currently an exploit in it that allows .exe files to be downloaded to your PC without your knowledge or consent, so it might be an idea to stop using it for general usage if you are already doing so.

Or be careful about what sites you go on?

First impressions are good.
