    Indeed firey ferrit matched it!

    Its a massively new codebase, its logical its going to have new bugs!

    The shocker from that Pwn20wn was the Chrome got away unscathed, yet Safari was hit twice.

    Considering they both use the Webkit engine under the hood, that is worrying. Then again, Macs are safe, they don't have viruses etc....

    Opera isn't consider a major player in the browser market...
