    The Incognito feature looks interesting. Can't think what for though *ahem*
    It allows you to enter the wonderful world of CUK and marvel at some of the 'amoeba' still struggling to evolve. (You know who you are PeopleSoft bloke + SaS)

    I can't help feeling that speeding up Javascript is solving the wrong problem.

    Been using it today. Took minutes to install. It doesnt handle as well as I would like but that is probably me.

    It seems quick enough and easy to use.
    It has fallen over a couple of times when using the back button while running an embedded vid.

    Indeed, along with a media player.

    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).
