drag/drop reordering of the tabs is nice...but otherwise i don't see a whole lot of surface level changes.

supposedly the rendering engine has been updated to support newer standards, but i've never really had problems with the 1.0x series rendering websites i go to, so i can't compare it in that respect.

the preferences dialog changed...i can't say i like it more or less than the current one.

as far as security goes, well there's that unpatched bug that was made public yesterday that could allow remote code execution if you're tricked into clicking a malicious link.... but besides that it appears there's improved security under the hood, that i haven't seen any details about (i haven't looked too hard though)

Unless you really want to help the project and report bugs then don't bother installing it.

1st Betas are almost always painfully unstable.
