I really, really like the sun being moved by the cursor, it's so calming and makes me really happy to look at. I just wish it didn't take away the bookmarks bar without having an option to put it back. I also think the logo is rather large and distracting but I am understanding of that. Overall it's beautiful but I wish it were more functional.
