#2Okay - once I open a new tab, how do I type a url in? :)
I know i can do this from the main tab (the speed dial, or whatever this is called) - only ctrl+enter shortcut doesn't work (while it's correctly handled by every browser I know of, but it's alpha).
But I don't like having to return to the main screen every time I want to navigate to a new address...

#3"reflect modern web user experience by emphasizing interaction and personalization"
Am I the only one who used to be but is no longer the target audience of the web?
I've been posting on forums and so on for years and years. Is that not interaction? You need a proper browser to use forums and browse the web properly. Removing or semi-hiding everything doesn't do that. How does hiding a URL make more "interaction and personalization"?
Removing settings, as "modern" UI's do, is the opposite of personalization! What if I PERSONALLY like a URL bar? How is it PERSONALIZED to me?

⌘-L or click on the title of the page in the top bar.
I've got to say I really like this browser, well done!

#5I guess I got older version when I followed the first url to download. In any case, yet another browser with demented tab switching order. Why do the they do it?
edit: Installed the alpha version.
What I find interesting is that regular Yandex detected Opera installation and imported data from there. Alpha version imported from Firefox (though I still had the Yandex installed).

Enter it into the edit field :P (I know it seems surprising)

Me three, I'm taking it as a sign that I am now over the hill. Isn't there a COBOL program on a mainframe I can be coding on somewhere?

I think the beautiful thing is, that you can use whatever browser you want. Yandex' is just another option, that might not be right for you, but might fit the needs of several others.
