I really like the blue colour. What is not great... It defaulted to google search, so I can't agree that it is very private.

Looks to be only for mac. Will it have a Linux version? Does it allow plugins so we can block ads, scripts, domains and tracking on the browser? The ability to block all the crap should be priority #1 on every browser, and even for alpha software, it should be the most important feature.

I used Arc for awhile before moving to Zen after Arc was discontinued.

What benefit does this have over Zen, besides using WebKit?

Also, does this support chromium extensions like Orion does?
