Here are my first impressions from the Windows build:[ulist]* kudos for managing to make a default skin more ugly than Opera * nice full page zoom, alas there is no indication of the current zoom level in the UI nor is it accessible from the main UI. * love the tagging of bookmarks + that the address bar's auto completion use them * sucks that the address bar's auto completion is limited to page titles and tags : no full content search * the star bookmark thing is neat but confusing, esp. when trying to double click it to remove a bookmark : the Remove "Bookmark menu" disapear but the bookmark is not removed * cool to have a search/filter in the download manager and bookmarks manager. Unfortunately the Places feature is pretty much useless without search in the full content of the bookmarks / newsfeeds * dunno when they removed it but I miss the ability to block external images, and I'd love a general external resource blocker * nice to see a blocking mechanism in the Page Infos, alas it only shows the "medias" and can't block specific location. Only entire domains are blockable * cool to have an undo close tab, but no way to know what tabs were closed and to reopen a specific one * the memory consumption still seem weird : 58 mb for 3 tabs open now * the menu View > SideBar > Bookmarks is FUBAR and missing the string saying "Bookmarks" [/ulist] Overall, lots of interesting features but it feels very rough round the edges. Let's hope they iron things out for the final release.
