    Well, you sort of know what you are getting into when its an Pre Alpha 1 release, has a bomb as an Icon, and is code name "Minefield".

    With that said, it hasn't crashed on me yet, and I've been scouring the web for deals.

    3.6 isnt even released yet, why wont they work it into a 6.5 release instead of a .7

    It's probably a significant enough change to the core to warrant a separate dot release. Adding an entirely new level of rendering would qualify in my book.

    Ah finally, hardware acceleration in 3.7! Maybe it's time for me to switch from IE6!

    Or maybe not?

    The time to switch from IE6 was about 6 years ago. Way to miss the boat... about a dozen times.

    Oh... and IE6 doesn't have hardware acceleration either. So what you're implying doesn't even make sense. Then again that's about par for the course.

    /me feeds the troll.

    Any idea why scrolling is far smoother in Chrome than in Firefox?

    Scrolling is just as smooth in Firefox as Chrome for me... perhaps you have some shady plugins installed? Or are lacking proper video card drivers?

    You know, now that I'm looking into it further, it seems to be an issue with only certain pages with large amounts of flash ads or ajax. In particular, Google Reader gives me issues. Tried this with all addons disabled.

    Scrolling with the middle mouse is much smoother in firefox than chrome
