Actually, keeping the response open-ended has been very valuable in understanding how people interpret "innovation" in this context. In the linked survey, there is an open-ended comment box where you can explain your definition.

Sure, I'm an entrepreneur and fellow Hacker News reader (not a polling agency) looking to get people's thoughts about the state of the browser industry. All responses are anonymous.

So the concern about "innovation" within the context of a browser is that can disrupt how they currently work. That being said, do you think that the separate plugins and applications out there are innovative?

So your feeling is that the browser is more of an invisible delivery mechanism, and not intended to provide anything other than taking you to your chosen web experience. Is that correct?

Thanks evmar, we're getting a really good response size here, and are focusing on the moment on the developer/technophile type of users on this site.

Someone asked what "innovative" means. It's purely up to your definition of the word... but feel free to add comments to explain your thoughts.

Thanks for trying PolyBrowser. We were shooting to make PolyBrowser work even on setups like yours (trackpad, no mouse). You can still use Ctrl +/- to zoom in and out, and Control Tab to switch tabs, plus drag with the right mouse but

Thanks for the thorough review. All excellent points! You're right, we focused on getting everything as reasonably polished as possible before launching version 1.0, so that we could expand the audience and get more feedback (just li

There is a mirror download link on the download page (hosted on Dropbox) if you are having download issues. Hopefully that works. Please let us know if you still have issues so that we can set up an alternative. Thanks!

Definitely! For the first release, we had to focus on the biggest bang (Mac/Win) but Linux is coming (as soon as we can).

Hi protestor, we spent quite a bit of time on the Linux version, but due to the OS fragmentation and issues with packaging, we had to make the call to temporarily delay the Linux version. It's still a high priority though, and when we
