Yes, I know its a preview, but if their starting point is Opera in terms of UI design, well I don't know how much they will change. I will be keeping the preview installed until the final version.

 

Too ugly and flat

 

Until Skuemorphic 3d buttons are back I will avoid. Why does everything have to look like it has been run over by a steamroller?

ummm...

 

 

It is built on Chrome's engine, actually. :p

 

Yes,

I gathered it WAS built on Chrome's engine, which is why I said I'd prefer it to NOT be built on it and why I'm NOT using it as of yet! ;)

 

Didn't think I worded that quite right for some of you to comprehend that! :)

Is this thing supposed to work on Windows 10 because it sure didn't on mine? Don't know if that was due to all the bloat looking crap in it or Windows itself, but gads, what a piece of crap looking thing!

 

Then, what's up with that Windows 10 uninstall process? Went to control panel and removed it, but it left the icon in taskbar and when I clicked that it still opened! I then went to where I had it installed and just flat out deleted it. Icon in taskbar didn't work after that and then I finally got the option to unpin it from taskbar, which I could not do while it was installed!

 

Don't know which is worse, this browser or Windows 10?

 

Yes, I do know both are beta's!

    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
