So far no issues and it seems to launch faster than the last version.

Can't say it seems to launch faster here, but agreed no issues.

People are reporting performance/speed issues with this version and Ive seen a lot of comments in Linux forums. I see no issues myself using it with both Linux and Windows. Resource usage is excellent.

I noticed a thread over at Q4OS.org that talked about issues with FF88 so I posted over there that I wasnt having any issues and I didnt find Chrome/Chromium to be faster. Not sure what hes talkling about with all these stats hes posting when all that matters is how quickly something loads and how fast content runs, plus overall resource usage vs responsiveness.
