Running it right now. This thing is blazing fast.  
Not crazy on the interface so far - but the browser itself is just plain fast.

You can definitely add a home button... It\'s in the options under the tools pull down.  When I first used it I was like "where the fuck is the home button?"

I like it... it\'s a little sparse.. but I\'m sure all the functionality of firefox is in there, you just have to modify/configure it to how you want it.  I was able to add the bookmarks toolbar for my most frequented websites.  And being that this is open source.. there will be tons of free add-ons and enhancements.  So far it\'s a great start... I\'m not switching over by any means, but i\'ll use it from time to time just to check things out.

Yeah - you can add a home button in no time.

Remember, this is a beta. I\'m sure there will be plenty of updates with a bunch of great stuff being added.

I\'m switching over.

They\'ve taken bits and pieces of ideas from Safari, Firefox, and Opera as far as I can tell. It\'s very, very fast. I like that you can resize text box windows (like the one we type in here to make posts) to any size that you want, so you don\'t have to scroll to read what you\'ve written (which is an idea taken from Safari... Firefox has it now too, though). It\'s very nice so far. A little buggy... it\'s crashed sometimes loading the Flash plug-in, but then again... this is a Beta... and Google has 9,384,058,490,859,435 dollars, so by the time this is final, I\'m sure it\'ll be a great browser. :)
