Eh, I don't need a spell checker.

this is supposed to fix the memory leak issue that many have complained about though

Are you rockin it yet B?

 

[posol]

no, i'm in the middle of a re-design on a client site, and i can't be testing layout on a beta...

 

[Drake]

Fair enough, well I suppose Ill be a test mule. Whats a good way to push a new browser and look for errors of flaws?

 

[Drake]

Well the spell checking feature is worth switching to it. Its kinda funny though, it will underline http as being miss spelled. It does allow you to add words to the dictionary. It allows you to spell check your address bar and message board forum boxes.

Most of my plug ins made the upgrade just fine with the exception with a few of the newest ones I have downloaded. Like my bittorrent RSS feed reader and that video ripper.

Ah. Yes, there is that. Firefox does leak like a ho.

Whats this memory loss and how does it affect me if I have 1.5

 

[posol]

it just ends up eating a lot of ram. if you have a 512 stick in your machine, you probably won't notice it.

ive been testing it for a few days now and its great. nothing quite like free quality software. i hope they make the portable version soon.
