Also, i use a google "Start" page and one of the Google Gadgets doesn't work. It's the one that syncs with Microsoft Outlook. Hope they get that one working.particle wrote:I've been using it as well. Seems pretty nice - haven't tested it with sites that required IE (Quickbooks Online Edition, banking software, etc).
Otherwise, i really like larger size window. Took a while to figure out how to show a "home" button in the tool bar. -John

Liberty, It has a "Pop-up Blocker" and a box to check under options/"under the hood" to notify when a pop-up is blocked. Is that the same thing as an ad blocker?

edited to add: Tested the pop-up blocker at the suggested site popuptest.com and it passed all of the tests.

Yup and it blocks Google ads in particular, Once you've experienced the web without ads there is no going back. Chrome is in beta right now, if they get it running in Linux and they get a good adblocker running within it, Firefox will be retired and Chrome will be my browser of choice. its not just the speed, the clean interface is close to perfection.Russell wrote:John wrote:Liberty, It has a "Pop-up Blocker" and a box to check under options/"under the hood" to notify when a pop-up is blocked.

No. An ad blocker literally hides all of the advertisement banners and pictures on a website so you do not see them at all. For example, AdBlock Plus is the one that is most widely used for firefox.

I've been using it for a week or so now and am sold on the speed and interface. It pleases me.
