It's available today and supports the desktop version of Flash, which means it can handle YouTube videos and other Flash content all within the browser.

Hey, Thanks for pointing out this browser. It is awesome. very quick. Also it lets you use a cursor, so it works well on hover menus.

I don't see any reason why I shouldn't stick to opera. This is just wrong Microsoft......

I really like http:www.skyfire.com. This thing is cool. I don't know how they do it, but it's blazing fast and I can actually watch hulu without a hitch while working out.
