I downloaded it to give it a shot and so far I like it a lot. I have not tweaked it a lot, but it seems like a very good browser. I'd bet it will soon take over Windows based PCs like the iTunes program did. I don't know if I am ready to ditch Firefox yet, but it could very well happen.

EDIT: Well, as with all betas, this is not perfect. I continue to crash Safari when using it to access my Charter One Bank account stuff online...
