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!

    • Zen Browser 1.21.1b is out.
    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
