    yeh i think they have tweaked the core or somethign because its breakneck fast.
    im not suire why its crashing, it was a jaza based chat in a browser based MMORG that did it, whenever i logged into to the chat the browser would dump its memory and cease to exist. ill try again after the next update.

    maybe 1 million of those downloads came from Yblad's spamming the link

    God damnit, someone explain to me what is wrong with IE? Am i missing out on something special by not using FF?

    I've used IE with Slimbrowser bolted on which changes the shell for IE, and i see no reason to move any where. There tabs system is easy and efficient, and because i use so many windows, thats probably the most important part of a browser to me.

    So tell me what i'm missing. Keep in mind that security is a non issue as i've never had a security issue in 8 years, so that isn't going to bother me all of a sudden because someone tell me it's not secure.

    Has anyone noticed that certain images are blurry when rendered in Firefox 3.0.

    It must have something to do with the Anti-aliasing "improvements" they added to the engine.
