"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Its JavaScript performance is something like 40 times faster than Internet Explorer 7 for various purposes. The primary intention is to provide a browser capable of running complex web applications with the responsiveness of desktop applications, even on older, slower machines.

A further aim is to reduce the complexity of the browser's user interface so as to better support the common usage patterns of ordinary users (not tech-savvy geeks).
