    The side pane for history, bookmarks, downloads, etc is so awesome! I really wish I could do this in Chrome... Basically, I love the left side of Raven. I don't like the tabs and a…

    Things I don't want: 1. Google branding my checkout process 2. Forcing MY users (who already created an account with me) to create a Google Checkout account. 3. Auto checking a "ne…

    I just signed up and was bombarded with Chef Boyardee, Kraft Mac/Cheese, Oscar Mayer injected/processed meats, etc. I'm a price-sensitive Whole Foods and Trader Joe's shopper in Pa…
