A quick look

I've only had an hour to play with version 3 but it handles quite nicely or maybe thats just the lack of plugins installed :)

The ability to click the Favicon on the address bar and have infomration relating to the website appear is a nice features. That along side the warning for potential hazardous via a blacklist or google certainly bring security to the forefront again.

The MIME system appears to be greatly improved, which wasn't that difficult as previous versions weren't user friendly or intuitive.

A new feature that is quite far down the list but one of my favourites, is the save password functionality. New functionality aims to offer you the ability to save the username/password once you can see if you have logged on successfully.

I'm not sure how hopefully starring and tagging URL's will be in the overall big picture, but you never know it could become a common feature.
