That browser has some cool features and a cool looking icon. Wish I had a Mac to try it out on. This year I promised myself I'd purchase me a Mac if it breaks me. I've been putting it off for far to long. Anyhow nice find.

Spent 20 minutes trying get my bookmarks imported from Safari. I can view them in Shiira but can't add them to the Bookmark Bar. Without my bookmarks, it is useless.

fair enough. never looked at importing bookmarks. I just remade the 15 or so I had from stratch into its own system. i set up icon tabs on the left which works really well as you can set the browser to reopen them on a new load.

i'll have to check this out - i wonder if it responds to the multi-touch gestures on the Air like Safari does - Opera doesn't seem to like them

EDIT: looks like it doesn't, so that'll limit my use of it on the MBA, but I'll give it a go on my Pro

btw checkout Shiira Mini for the dashboard - http://shiira.jp/mini/en.html - looks kind of cool
