SRWare Iron 5.0.380 beta browser
MilesAhead:
I was using the 5 alpha and just noticed they have 5.0.380 beta for download.
I've been using it a few hours. Page loads are faster and smoother than the alpha.
I just installed it right over the alpha. Didn't seem to hurt anything.

You can use XMarks to sync your bookmarks without using a google account.
So far the major piece missing is syncing/exporting passwords. You could try
something like LastPass but I prefer something similar to SyncPlaces that lets
me use my own ftp site.

Iron 4 is really quite new and is merely at version 4.0.280. So, are the changes going to be huge, or why is it version 5, instead of 4.1 or 4.5 or something alike?
MilesAhead:
I'm not sure what technically the differences are. Mabye to do with extensions. I know it's way fast. I didn't have any stability problems with the alpha. This beta is even smoother and faster.
I have 4 extensions installed. I only have this window open. It's running 6 copies of iron.exe. But I don't mind. I don't notice any drag on my dual core with only 2 GB ram. It's just fast off the dime. Plus when the pages load they don't seem to "flip" so much. Used to be an effect like somebody rippling a window shade as the page loads. A lot less noticeable now.
Curt:
trying it; yes, it really is very fast!

-however, when I click "tell me about Google Translate" it will open http://www.srware.net/forum/ ??? I wanted to disable the translation service because it is annoying to me, but now I need to use it in order to understand the German forum, so I can learn how to disable it!
;D
