I have quick nav on. However, the left/right arrows don't seem to navigate reliably (I ended up at the bottom of a page, and you can't read by smaller chunks inside, say, a paragraph of text). Say you're reading an article and aren't sure how an oddly spoken phrase is spelled. On Windows, or in an edit area on Mac, you'd arrow to the line, then move word by word to the phrase, then read word by word or character by character. How would you do this (efficiently, not by moving the rotor all over the place and hoping you don't hit the wrong key and jump out of the entire article) in Chrome or Safari? Even the "lines" setting on the rotor is not very useful - I still have no idea what it thinks a "line" is, and it never seems to move me anywhere.
