  • The reports of speed are NOT exaggerated. This thing screams.1014210
  • After installing, you are asked if you want to change your default search engine. Then you see this page, where frequently-visited pages will populate (similar to the Speed Dial feature in Opera, but that is manually created).1014201
  • Does searches as you type (makes sense). With a history (this was on a blank-slate VM) it populates like FF3 does.1014198
  • Looks like there IS a 1014199
  • Notice the incognito option to open a 1014204
  • Pretty simple! Notice the 1014203
  • I had to crank up the contrast to make it look like what it looks like on your screen. A screencap application (in this case, Skitch) renders the text as nearly invisible. A feature?1014202
  • Notice pages that are private sessions have this icon.1014200
  • Of course, what can you improve on this? Still, it looks just like IE, which maybe is a way to keep regular users from getting freaked out. Not that the rest of the app looks like IE...1014205
  • Unfortunately, these started shutting down as I tried to embed them. Still, each feature has a short video explaining it. Who knew that YouTube acquisition would pay off?1014208
  • Again, super fast and easy. We haven't seen anything here that blows our minds other than speed, however. But that's exactly the point: it isn't a proprietary experience.1014209
  • Works quickly, as advertised. Of course, I don't have a lot of pics...1014206
  • Again, using a test account of sorts, there's not much to see. We're getting good speed reports from Reader with lots of data, plus Docs with lots of data. No doubt the gears keep grinding in Mountain View...1014207
  • Thanks Philip!1014237
