I recently ran across a portable version of Bon Echo, so I am playing with it as my browser at work. I really love all the new things. It has built in spell checking, as well as Google suggest in the search bar. Find as you type is automatically working, and the new theme….well its awesome looking. The only problem I may have is that the Tabbrowser extension I normally use, has issues with Bon Echo. Although of the the best features from that extension is build in Bon Echo. Each tab has a close box. This is great. I do have one suggestions. When clicking on the rss box in the address bar, I am asked what to do. This is wonderful, but what i want to do is set a bookmark as my default rss applications. Because I use my own web based rss reader. Therefore I can just sent an rss feed to that bookmark and it puts the feed in my reader. I feel this beta is going to be awesome. So please check back and see if my thoughts have changed.

Thanks

Update 1 — Well my paste and go extension doesn’t work completely. The ctrl-shift-v works but ctrl-shift-s doesn’t seem to past anything into the search bar.

Update 2 — Ok so Bon Echo has crashed, really only once. When I started it back up…guess what…it remembered my open tabs and any info I have on those tabs. Thats pretty cool.

Update 3 — I have noticed that Bon Echo seems to be slow with loading pages, as well as sometimes just timing out right away. But I really think when this becomes 2.0 final, it will be a great browser.

Today instead of a list, and lack of any good news, I am just going to throw some stuff out there. This is a great firefox extension, it make your search thingey bigger as you type. Totally awesome. Anyway, Google updated Google Video to make it feel more like YouTube…who the fuck cares, YouTube is better…The shuttle went off…yay! the really excitement happens when it comes back to earth….Apple gets rid of their last CRT monitor computer…and who the fuck cares. Although this looks pretty cool. Ok Digg just sucks now, because I use Thunderbird as my rss reader, I can’t look at any of the news stories out of any section of Digg except Technology, because I have to log in….hope you 4th was better than mine.

Have a good day.
