Eh, it is my opinion that at ts current state it is too feature-deprived to be considered the primary browser of most users. And yes, for all it's slickness, it has plenty of rough edges.

If you are in the market for a new browser - and no, I won't say Opera - Safari looks excellent, I've used it for a wee bit in Windows and it's very nice, feature rich, almost as fast and highly usable.

Sady, there is no Linux version of it, but I'm happy with Opera besides. Currently I'm using Firefox as my secondary "lightweight" browser for browsing help files, Wikipedia etc. (nothing more; Flash tends to crash it). Alas, Firefox hardly meets the "lightweight" standard, so when Chrome is released as a deb package, that'll be the replacement.

EDIT: Also Poog, about Spore. Enjoying the vast plethora of bugs? And no, I speak not of any insectoid creations. Worst half-arsed release I've played in a long time, talk about cheek.
