1) I don't mind it. I'm indifferent about it. None of the fox themes have been nice to look at. Most have been nothing but eyesores, and this one is no different. If you don't like it, change the theme. QuBranch, Phoenity, GrayModern, and Mostly Crystal are nice. And the Gnome theme, for you l00nix folks out there.
2) If you get suckered in by phishing, you shouldn't be allowed on the intertron. And like someone else said before me, at least it has anti-phishing, unlike the previous version and a good number of alternative browsers floating around.
3) I don't see how the options dialog has changed much. It's actually pretty sparse compared to most other browsers I've used. Extremely user-friendly.
4) 95% of my 20+ extensions worked on release day. The ones that didn't, I hacked at the rdf file - and guess what, they work perfectly. It's been out for 2 days - give people time. My only gripe is Tabbrowser Preferences is totally busted and useless now. Could be the fault of the author, could be the fault of the browser. But it'll be fixed. The author is working on it right now.
5) I've had a couple browser windows up since 2.0 was officially released on mozilla.org, each with several tabs. Some even with flash ads in them. No leak. Whatsoever. 1.5 took up more memory over time, actually.
6) Don't use yahoo search, mail, or anything else on it, so I don't know. But none of the dozens of sites I frequent almost daily have CSS issues. Some even look better with the few CSS2 additions 2.0 made.
7) Hasn't frozen or crashed once on me after *several* hours of use and constantly being left open.
8) Never used the browser history sidebar, never will. Don't see the point. So you could very well be right. The only thing I use related to history is the new "recently closed tabs" thinger, and it has worked flawlessly so far.
9) Didn't really use RSS in 1.5, but I tried out live bookmarks in 2.0 and I rather like them. If you don't like them, use Sage. It kicks arse.
I don't see a single reason to *not* upgrade to 2.0. And I could give you about 100 why you should upgrade.
Very likely sound like a fanboy, but I'm far from it. I simply use an app if I like it - and 2.0 is the best browser out right now, hands down.
this is the most offensive thing i've ever heard. i'm comfortable in my with my body mods. if i worked somewhere that didn't allow them, i'd just feel weird. actually, i wouldn't ever agree to work there in the first place.
seriously, how in the HELL would body mods affect work performance in any way? oh noes my lip has a hole in it, and i forgot how to code!!!!!!11
