I just installed Beta 4 last night. Any other users?

I like the new back-forward panel, and the browser seems faster.

What they did to the address bar, however, is an abomination. When entering a URL, the recommendations function now consists of a massive block-listing of site names and their respective URLs, all in a jumbo font size--as if designed for use in an elementary school classroom.

Sure, you can now find sites rather easily by simply typing in key words from page titles. But in 99 percent of all cases, I already know the URL, as I suspect is true of most people. They could at least have the decency not to trigger the "Welcome to Second Grade" feature when you're simply typing in "http://", etc.

It's still in beta and it's open source.  Send them some feedback about the address bar.

Eh, I'll download it when it's out of beta.

But I am very much looking forward to it.

Ditto, that's what betas are for. If they're smart they'll listen to the users, unlike Microsoft when they kept the horrid interface for IE7.
