    i found bing to fancy for me. I suppose I should clarify what I mean. It sort of over complicates the whole searching process.

    I actually felt on the very very small amount of times I have used Bing, It gave me more sponsored links without really indicating to me it was a sponsered link/advert.

    I think this is just the fact I am so used to Google I didn't anticipate it to be different. If that makes any sense?

    The Beta will use the WebRequestAPI if available (Chrome17 and up), which makes ad blocking much more effective.

    I had the same thought. Gmail is (was!) good but it shouldn't be too hard to copy it. Surprised none of the biggies did it yet!

    The GMail (compact) shows the exact same number of emails in the exact same amount of space.
