Just installed it, posting from it now. It looks pretty interesting. No fluff and simple.

it seems pretty quick and snappy to me.

I like it. Simplified and easy to use.

This is the beta version right? I'll wait until the fixes come out.

Google Chrome uses WebKit 525.13 (Safari 3.1) which is vulnerable to carpet-bombs.

If I were you, I wouldn't use it at all until they update the user-agent...especially anything that requires username and password.

On the plus side, look at these javascript speed tests!
