"Small as a mouse, fast as a cheetah and available for free."

Looks interesting for sure. But I would miss a lot of privacy plug ins.

Look I'm not asking for the most modern bloated web design, I like simplicity, but that website looks pretty outdated an ugly for a modern web browser. As a user if their website looks that outdated why should I trust their browser?
While understandable, that's just one opinion.

I actually do like the classic design, and how the page doesn't require downloading several megabytes of data to display.

i prefer this to WebPositive in Haiku (edit for haiku)
