789865 2009-07-08 02:59:00 One thing that bothers me is that a web page occasionally chooses to pop up in a new window when I accidentally perform some mouse movement. Renmoo (66)
789866 2009-07-08 03:09:00 I like that you can now set what gets displayed in the address bar, Though my biggest issue was with how it was displayed and the oldbar addon sorted that.

Being able to just delete the last hours worth of history is also sweet, Making it the king of porn browsing.

789867 2009-07-08 04:03:00 I installed it a few days ago on my laptop, haven't really had a chance to use it. It doesn't like google gears though. :( ubergeek85 (131)
789868 2009-07-08 04:12:00 I'm using it as my primary browser.

I've just tweaked the "close window when last tab is closed" issue, the "image resizing" and I've gotten used to no history in the address bar.

I'm not sure what people are talking about when it comes to speed.

Google Gears just got updated like yesterday to enable compatibility with 3.5

789870 2009-07-08 06:16:00 Checking for updates for addons doesn't find any for gears. I guess it's a download of the installer for me.

Edit: Reinstalled and it still says it's not compatible.

789873 2009-07-08 21:21:00 You don't need Undo Close Tab - press Ctrl+Shift+T. ;) pcuser42 (130)
