I dislike the way it now handles "Open All in Tabs" (it adds tabs, it 
doesn't replace your current tabs with the selection - even if you're 
asking for the same set of tabs again). I also dislike the new awesome 
bar and would much rather have the old URL bar back. In fact, I don't 
much like the UI at all compared to v2.x - the phrase "jumped the 
shark" springs to mind. UI seems to lag a bit too.

Functionally however, it is faster and currently more stable than v2 
ever was for me, and the memory consumption is down quite a bit. I 
still use Safari for preference though.
