    Reasons I won't be switching:
    - It's still in Beta
    - Not available for Mac and Linux
    - NO ADBLOCK PLUS !!

    Good thing this code is Open-Source, now all the Mozilla team has to do it use this code in Firefox so that we can all benefit from super speedy and stable internets.

    It's damn fast but lacks compatibility on x64 systems and their Java virtual machines does not work with my online banking.
    Though its beta, and lol @ eula. Yes they have the right to do that and that, but unless they actually send packets to themselves with all the info i type in to the browser they would have no idea if i wrote it with Chrome or Firefox.

    I love the speed, and the design is much more user-friendly than ffox. (can't believe im saying that).
    It doesn't work everywhere though. And it doesn't have adblock or sxipper.

    Tried it, sticking with Firefox.

    Good concept, but I guess it really trips over itself in terms of day to day usability.

    Well, it's definitely fast. And it's got a pretty simple design which I like in a browser. I might switch to this as my default if I continue to like it the way I do now. XD
