that's what it is! i saw the setup file on my grandad's desktop and just deleted it - some computer geek who helps him out with stuff must have added it there. i'm running it now but i'm not lovbing it yet... it's like firefox as far as i can tell so far - just with that clever favourites idea.

yea, its no all that exciting yet - the only reason i'm not using it is because my mouses fwd and back buttons don't yet respond. i use del.icio.us frequently and i like the idea of 'starring' the bookmarks. it also has a really rad search feature where it searches your favorites for related items when you use the search box..

i never used favourites much - i've just discovered the blogging tool though which i'm going to be using from now on! much quicker than signing into blogger! love that thing - wish that could be an extension for firefox.. maybe it is. i'll have a look now!

well, it IS firefox, and there isnt anything really new except they decided to retool the front end of the interface to be geared towards bloggers. Too little is supported right now and later down the road I think it might bave a preatty clear future as being useful for many.
