As I’ve done with every “release” so far, I’ve downloaded it, unzipped it, played with it for 10 minutes, found out that there are still raging usability problems (no keyboard shortcut to jump to the URL bar, I can’t drag up and down the page with the mousewheel, and I can’t hit ALT+Y to answer Yes in a dialog box), and gone back to IE.

What do you reckon? Three days this time?
