It's a great browser, though I still experience some sluggishness between pageloads at times - but hey, beta, right? The application idea is executed very well, though I feel like they waste a lot of space in their header. They squeeze the tabs and the urlbar onto one line, but have so much empty space above it...

To me, it feels faster than Firefox. However, Chrome is still absurdly fast.

Source on that one? I've seen different benchmarks showing that IE9 was marginally BETTER than Chrome 6, not worse.

Either way, that's not really an all deciding criteria in my book.

Note: I don't use IE or Chrome

IE used to be the best browser

when IE was the only available browser
