Why not? If you don't like it, you can always go back.

If there are any add-ons you must have, check compatibility first.

FWIW, I've been using it on both Windows and Linux boxes since the first day
of release; I've had a couple of crashes under Linux when lots of tabs are
open.

   Only problem here: clearing private data, doesn't. History goes,
but the URLs in the dropdown under the address-bar can't be
cleared.

   There are ways round it, but that leaves you without the ability
to recall URLs via the dropdown.

Yes they can. Clearing private data clears them.

What you're seeing is matches with your bookmarks, not previous browsing 
history - the dropdown normally gives matches from both.

   You may be right, nonetheless I'm suspicious of it.
