dolphin 2.0

Anyone found a quick way to refresh the screen? There doesn't seem to be refresh in the menu (hey, there's one empty spot :) ). I know I can longpress: page: refresh, but I think refresh used to be a Menu command.
Refresh is up on the URL input line now. If you have tabs hidden then its a big harder to get to than I like. I preferred the refresh button in the menu.

Three things I've noticed:

When I use the hard search button from the homescreen it brings up the results in the stock browser even though I have dolphin set as default for everything.

There is much more lag when you view the bookmarks/favorites area, I think it's due to the slow loading banner ad at the bottom.

Last thing, for some reason I can not post on my 2nd favorite forum pocketfives.com, I used to be able to by clicking the html button, but now since the update I can't post! Sigh

Couple things that bug me about the update:

When I click a link from an email or something it replaces the last opened tab instead of opening a brand new tab. I still have the option checked to open new tabs in the background but this is different. No options exist and the previous version would simply open a new tab so you didn't have to worry about leaving the previous tab.

White bookmarks page background. I liked the black MUCH better. Easier on the eyes and easier on the battery.

No page up/down scroll bar?!? WTF? Who decided that was an unimportant item?

For some reason the browser automatically reset my option to hide tabs once loaded. Not a big deal to change back but at first I wasn't sure if it was something new to the browser or what.

Still seems to get hung up every now and then. You will try to load a new tab and the yellow progress bar will go to about 5% and then just sit there... not loading anything. This doesn't happen real often but when it does it's frustrating. Never experienced this behavior with the stock browser.

Also had a couple bugs involving pop ups and text fields of a site that I frequent. The previous version handled it just fine so I emailed the dev(s) to see if they can correct it.

Yeah, same here and for me when I go to a site from my bookmark list it always opens a new tab rather than loading the site in the current tab. This is the opposite of what I would want.

Agree on both points, the speed improvements are welcome, but the UI seems a little half assed.
