    I love the direction this browser is going in, but I do have one issue that I wish the developers will soon concentrate on, and that is browser optimization. Right now, this browser is the most RAM hungry I have seen, when compared to other popular browsers.

    Everything else (at least for me), seems to work amazingly well and stable.

    Correct, and what I also don't like is that when you open new tabs it feels a bit choppy, and you will always get to see the hourglass cursor, that's not the case in FF and Opera 12.

    What the hell, if you use "Paste and Go", it still won't open in a new tab? How can they miss these kind of details?

    Middle-click on the tab-bar to create a new tab, then "paste and go" as normal (eventually it should be possible to double-click to create a new tab also)

    Yes but that defeats the purpose, they really should be on top of these little details, it's so freaking annoying. I pointed this out months ago, but they didn't bother to fix or add this.

    Did you guys also notice that Google Search is a bit slow and choppy to load when you search from the address-bar? It feels faster in Firefox.
