Well I've just downloaded it now and it seems like a stripped down version of Chrome to me, nothing to exciting and doesn't seem very customisable.

Did you make an account and name it after this browser just to post this?

Have you ever tried to estimate how much it cost to maintain up-to-date browser, in terms of rapidly incorporating new standards, keeping high-quality, low-resource consumption and major-bug-free code, along with keeping it fairly secure?)

I'll take boring over hours of debugging to shift a few pixels.

YAWB doesn't mean you won't have hours of debugging to shift a few pixels anyway.

Fair point, there are many Webkits, but IME deviations are an order of magnitude more likely when moving from Webkit to something else.

Using it for a few minutes, few things i really like.

1. Someone finally put the Refresh and Stop Button where it should be. Firefox actually had it during beta testing but they somehow decide to but it at the end of the Address bar instead.

2. The Graphics, Curve, Looks more like better then the comparatively toyish Chrome.

3. The Options have always belonged to the Tab Bar and not the address bar. To me i think that is the most logical place for it.

4. The New Tab drop page, I like it. But i am sure i have seen it somewhere else before. Opera? I cant remember.

5. Flash - Since Flash is only available in Chrome and not Chromium. I am not sure if Flash inside Yandex or any other Chromium derivative are using PPAPI or the old NPAPI. Anyone?

6. No, no tabs overflow...... So i am sticking with Firefox.
