Uggh, I just sat and watched the Keynote and was amazed by Safari, only to download it and watch it CHUG through flash sites that run like a champ in Chimera and IE. This is not a good thing. It is faster than most when it comes to displaying a new site (k10k is a good test because of all the things they have going on with that page) but the Flash performance will keep Chimera as my main sword and bottom bitch.
YEAHH = Cool interface, intuitive features.
BOO = No tabbed browser pages, and TERRIBLE Flash performance. Spotty CSS interpretation.

Fart. You mean now I've got ANOTHER browser to proof all my web pages in?

Man...what a terrible idea to embed the flash player inside the app. UGGH. I would imagine they did this to better integrate the Quicktime functionality, but for a plugin they don't write or control, that’s a bad idea. I just remembered that this is a beta, so lets hope they fix it in the release. Flash is appallingly slow.

You are correct. Flash is bad on this, real bad. I was surprised, I mean all that boasting about being the fastist, get real.
CSS not too bad.
But come on, its about time they make a browser, I'll support it.And I have yet to see if it crashes on Newstoday, when closing. Or see if it can actually handly a page with a lot of thumbnails, IE in OSX chokes on stuff like that.

You know, I hate to admit it, but Chimera kicks the crap out of IE and that's why I use it. It does flake out from time to time on weird applets/vb script, but it is really a lot better than IE, or sadly, Safari.

Remember to bug report the Flash issues! The more complaints the merrier!

Anyone else getting a dotted box around links when you click on them on newstoday? hmm... doesn't seem like there's many prefs. Any idea how to turn off quartz text too?
