Sorry,
I can't believe I'm making this point, but here goes...
As a web developer I actually appreciate the bloat. The average user does not have patience to look for extensions that fill in the core features that other browsers offer. Without the "bloat", those users would have likely stayed with IE, Microsoft would have no motivation to improve, and we'd likely be stuck developing for something much closer to IE6... ugh...
So for me, bloat is forgivable -- I'm just happy we're finally at a spot where web standards are taking hold. It's hard for Microsoft to embrace and extend they're losing so much ground.
Happy Birthday, Firefox =)
They could have made the reward $100,003 instead...
The chorus calling for the "end to US control over the Internet" will morph into the "end of ICAAN control, because they are not subject to oversight." Withe the "solution" being the same - UN oversight.

+1 Insightful. Alas, I have no mod points now. =/
I think we're missing the point. This isn't about Google or Microsoft, or even Wave. This is about some guy trying to achieve Jesse James Garrett status by coining an even more annoying buzzword than Web 2.0. Don't let it happen!!
Why can't we just stick with "...considered harmful" and move on, Ozzie? Please??
Relax. CTRL+TAB is still there, only without the cute screen preview menu from the previous beta.
The Ctrl+Tab functionality is still there, they just removed the new interface that they had added in beta 1..
Mod parent up. I'm using the latest nightly, and you can still CTRL+TAB. It just removes the screen previews from the previous beta, which IMO were slow and annoying.
I wish the summary were more clear.
to whitelist/blacklist storing items in your history/cache by URL? They have it for just about everything else!
Right-click, go to "View Page Info", and click "Permissions". It should be right there. Any takers on writing an extension for this?
Why would we want war robots to have no instinct for self-preservation when that's the reason for war in the first place?
For those leaders/countries who wage war, it will only satisfy as long as their side is the only side with these robots.
