Software update system to streamline product upgrades (currently disabled)
Faster browser navigation with improvements to back and forward button performance
Drag and drop reordering for browser tabs
Improvements to popup blocking
Better support for Mac OS X (10.2 and greater)
Several security enhancements
Try it out if you want, and sorry if this has already deen reported.

They screwed it in one of the 1.0 RC's and its never been perfect since :(

386913 2005-09-10 02:45:00 Its reasonable, but its doesn't really tout many end-user features. However the re-ordering tabs is a great feature and iv'e definitely noticed faster back and forward navigation.

It seems stable enough to use as an everyday browser, but if you have some favourtie extensions, then stick with 1.06

386915 2005-09-10 09:15:00 So i installed it, tryed to start it up and it didnt work very well. tryed to access the internet it does and then closes itself down. no traces left in taskman. reinstalled (even restarted) and that didnt help, had to put 1.0.6 on. maybe its because of my 27 extensions. oh well......... try again when its out of beta... jackrulz (2216)
386916 2005-09-12 13:11:00 If anybody is interested, this version is the fastest and slickest so far. A lot of the older extensions are being upgraded now. I already have 20 working fine, but so far not Cookie Culler. zqwerty (97)
