It looks amazing!

#2 jamesyfx on 24 Feb 2009 - 15:58

Wow, the 'Top Sites' thing looks real good.

Using it now. I like the subtle change of fonts.

lolz...Chrome like 'Tabs on Top' well keep on copying

#5 Goalie33 on 24 Feb 2009 - 16:55

Looks great. Runs pretty quickly, and it appears to pass the Acid 3 test.

Lets say the same thing Apple said when Vista was launched:

"Apple, turn on your photocopiers! oh, wait, they took it seriously and turned on!!!"

I'm glade that Apple is not using the steel finish and there is finally glass and shadow on it. But it looks like Chrome and IE7/8. It does pass the acid3 test, so that's good.

Their site reads "The world's best browser." Guess Apple have always been confident.

do u agree with "The world's best browser."?

Well well well finally partially native vista/7 themeing which makes use of glass. this is basically apples rendition of chrome so yeah. Getting better. No more rubbishy apple font rendering seperate to windows too. good on them.

i wonder how long until this 'nitro' comes to chrome

Google spent a lot of time developing V8, so I doubt they'll abandon it, the first time a good competitor comes up. :/

#11 iLLuSiOnZ on 25 Feb 2009 - 12:38

i think the tabs could've been designed a bit better =]

#12 Tirnaog on 25 Feb 2009 - 12:56

Not bad. Much better then the first time I tried this app.
Do like the TopSite feature and the fact it looks more like a windows app.
still sticking with IE7/8, but this is nice.

The Top Sites feature was the first thing I switched off!

I don't want it to lag out rendering all that stuff every time I want to test web pages in Safari.

#13.1 Jugalator on 25 Feb 2009 - 15:46

It doesn't lag at all here, but yes, customization is there in part to adapt the browser to your hardware and needs. :-p

OMG I love it, I downloaded this today... I didn't know they were working on another version. I like the new design and the curved top rated websites is a great idea.
