edit: nvm i just realized tab moving works in ff3

so if this never supports ad blocking, then i will never use it

It's open source and supports plugins. The only way this isn't going to support ad blocking is if no one makes it.

I was in programmin' class today when my schoolmates and I realized it was out. So, we downloaded it and decide to well, browse the web. My friend tries to check his e-mail (Hotmail) and an error appears sayin he should upgrade his browser in order to view the site.

He just uninstalled it...

It sucks.

An inbuilt microsoft support check that you can bypass anyway isn't the browser's problem, it's shortsighted design on their end

sorry, will have support for plugins:

2. You won't have any add-ons.

Add-ons are a huge draw for Firefox fans, and none of these are available in Chrome yet. Google does intend to create an API for such extensions, but for now you'll have to make do without your AdBlocks, Better Gmails, and BugMeNots--or you'll have to switch between browsers to use the add-ons you want when you want them.

apparently, If you have adblock+ installed on firefox, it'll import the black list for it. I guess thats the closest thing to ad blocking it has so far, but I bet someone will make an adblock plugin in for it in no time.

Bob this might be a stupid question but is firefox running when you are trying to do this?

also is it actually installed on your computer are you somehow using a standalone exe or something of that nature? did you somehow NOT install Firefox but are just running it?

also i am using it right now! i actually kind of like it, it has a nice clean interface and I have to say so far it performs fairly well for how fucking beta this shit is.
no man i closed firefox, its installed on my pc (3.0.1) and i even reinstalled chrome like 6 times! i just can't figure it out.

i wish i could change the skin on it too :(

It's alright so far, but nothing to pull me away from Opera just yet.

Of course not. They have a long road ahead. And it's Google so this will eventually rule.

But it kind of sucks that they launch this whole speech of how they tried to make it compatible with most websites, or at least the most used ones, and when I try to open the first site, friggin' hotmail... it doesnt' works.

Hotmail isn't as popular anymore afaik. Everyone uses like gmail, etc. I haven't seen a hotmail address in some time.

Also understand they tested out all the sites through bots, and might not have tested out hotmail yet, or something. It'll clear up soon imo...

They can't test sites that need actual accounts.

Plus microsoft is pretty dumb for having a built in check that doesn't let you continue anyways and just give a warning that it might be broken.

Actually I'm using it right now, and it's working pretty damn well, dunno about pop up blocker, because I do't visit many sites that have pop ups, but for some reason, most of my internet browsers are working badly after a virus entered my pc ( I cleaned it already) but the chrome browser seems to be working flawlessly (*takes google money with a smiling face).

yeah this is mildly disappointing, I have grown rather attached to that although I initially found it to be a very strange way to scroll

Pretty much sucks so far:

-marginally faster than Opera... if at all
-speed dial ripoff isn't customizable in the slightest (from what I can see)
-closing the last tab closes the browser. I REALLY HATE THIS, I just want to see the speed dial while - at the same time - removing the tab I'm viewing, like in Opera on Windows.
-no middle click scroll. ugh.
-can't middle click to create tabs. ugh.
-no "duplicate tab" feature.
-no "paste and go".
-I must be the biggest motherfucking Opera fanboy on the planet.

I don't understand the difference between the interface in incognito mode and normal mode. They look identical to me on Vista.
