Cough-Chrome

But what matters is functionality and performance, hope they deliver. Looking forward.

The "on-top" looks much better and includes a home button. But yeah does look a bit like Chrome. Having said that, Chrome was designed by people from Firefox right? So there would be similar influences.

This is about the thousandth time I've seen this idiotic proclamation. There's a difference between screenshots and mockups. Screenshots are shots of what is actually on the screen (a.k.a. the program running). Mockups are created in Photoshop from a number of elements.

These are mockups, not screenshots.

And thank god they actually used something plain (like the google results) instead of the visually detracting CNN screenshots they used last time.

Is there any kind of application, for which screenshots are less important than a browser?! Look, it displays google results just as every other browser AND it has tabs!

Oh man. That actually looks pretty neat. I've got some anal dislikes, but they've removed almost all of the things that were red flags for me.

I'm just hoping they nativized the Mac version; I'd love to have a fourth major browser for tinkering with stuff.

Tabs on bottom is the current norm in Firefox

Am I the only one who likes my tabs on the bottom, meaning under the content, above the status bar?

Much less mouse travel when switching apps and then switching tabs.. (I'm trying to use the mouse less and rely just on the keyboard, but its tough)
