It's fast. But memory hungry. 3 tabs eating up to 194mb memory. Can someone else confirm this.

I'm using it rite now..but imo not that quick..i believe my firefox is much faster than my safari and the font type is not feasible on my eyes(foggish).I gotta fix a few things before i get it up and running. But overall i think its quite okay for a beta.

And for the memory hungry issue,i've made some comparison, i didn't get any figure up to 190, but this page consumes about 44mb on safari and 40 mb on firefox.Its slightly more but not that critical i guess.

Edit : After a few more testing, i found crashes and error pop ups with the browser. Well i'll leave it at that because its beta.But for now i'll just forgo using this one.Maybe next time.Firefox still reign supreme.

The new bada** mot***f***er of browsers.
Totally impressed with lightspeed. They need to fix up some memory reclaiming problems though.

After that, it will be THE browser to use, especially since Firefox's desperately trying to become bloatware and IE isn't trying to be anything. Opera's also in a sad state of trying to be everything but failing at 75% of them.

Anyone tried it yet. I am using it now and HOLY SHIT its fast. Faster than opera and firefox. If this is only beta, I can't wait for the final one. Compared to IE7 its like comparing Proton to a Ferarri.
