I'll say one thing for it. They seem to have some marketing panache. Instead of the usual wizard the update installer(more like an unpacker since it was portable) had a big green arrow and looked cool. What was uncool was that it just stuck the folder in my user settings without asking. But at least it looked good doing it. :)

I agree, the default installation folder that can't be changed is annoying, that's why I use the portable version.

I am using the portable version. It told me there was an update. I downloaded and ran it. It put the thing in my settings folder. I just deleted the old portable and moved the folder over. So far the main thing that irks, that I sent in feedback about, is there's no Bookmarks Toolbar. I have to go through a bunch of clicks to use a bookmark. If they could fix that it might be usable.
Edit: The other bad news is it does not support multiple urls on the command line. I can't even overcojme the Bookmark Bar deficit by using BrowserBunch to launch a bunch. :(

Actually I just use a few bookmarks and I type the rest in the address bar, the history does the rest... But maybe I am really visiting just a few websites a day.

As alternative I tried using Chromium. For some reason I can't get a recent release to work with Flash. I hate to give in and use chrome. Seems there's never a happy medium. :)
Edit: Downloaded the PortableApps chrome. It has the flash already set up. I'll still try MxNitro for streaming. I'll give it a chance.
Edit2: I have to admit that chrome is fast. If I leave all that predictive page load stuff enabled, pages snap right up. Of course it likely makes the prediction by sending all my activity to google servers. :) But what can you do?
Firefox 37.0 is out. It seems ok, but nowhere near as snappy as chrome.
