The RSS live bookmark thing works very well and has altered my web browsing experience slightly. I quite like it, but i suppose its not a big deal.

Some good feeds are on the The Register and the guardian

I don't even have to press ctrl+f for that David

I use it for typing the link of where I want to go and press enter

Anyway, I don't use tabs at all o_O

Why should?

(serious question tbh)

Downloading it now

Been using 1.0 since Sunday; this is old news, but very imortant news nonetheless. I heard someone make the comparisson of Firefox vs IE as DVD vs video cassettes . There's nothing wrong with VHS, but DVD is clearly superior.

I've always hated VHS even when there wasn't such a thing as DVD yet.

It's called "find as you type" and has been in for yonks.

what sixty said.

if you have bugs with 1.0 (or 1.0PR for that matter).. chances are ur using an older version of an extension. remove alle xtensions and install the latest versions.

(especially the old tab browser extensions bugged 1.0pr down when it first came out)

i dont think the original version of the 0.9 had the statusbar Find function (NOT FIND AS YOU TYPE! different function.. that one finds the links only)

messy: tabs are awesome.. u can browse 4-5 pages at a time.. without clogging up ur desktop. middle clicking on links opens the link in another tab... very useful.

another extension i cant live without is the all in one mouse gestures...

Find as you type was never just for links.... unless the suite did it differently.

When I used ctrl+f in my 0.9 it was just the normal search window as you have it in IE or so
