Initial impression is good. I can't say for certain just yet but it's got tabs, very comfy feel and I love how it'll use IE or Firefox. It uses IE for the always updating eTrust "white list" and Firefox for unknown and "black list" sites. The unknown sites like this one is intially loaded using the Firefox engine but I set it to trusted and it's now using IE... which is slightly faster at rendering.
The only apparent issue with the browser is the fact that it uses more memory
. It has to do that since it uses both Firefox and IE.. but suprisingly it isn't as large as I thought it would be. Takes up about 125% more memory than Firefox.
I've noticed that Firefox, if not routinely closed down and restarted, will hog up a LOT of memory and VM (hard drive memory). I've tried everything to fix it but it just doesn't unload closed website data! A VERY big bug if you ask me and I'm really disapointed with it. There is no reason for a browser to take up so much cache memory, EVER. Unless you've got like 50 pages open...
I'll keep people updated and would like to hear others impressions. I refuse to even try Opera because of the adds and the $. The browser should be free, bandwidth no, browser yes.
