Product Description:
Radon....Think Fast
Web Browsers are different then they used to be. They feature better graphics, snazzy icons and buttons, and fit into your OS like a glove on your hand. But, through all this, they lose sight of what there purpose is as an application. Main stream browsers have all the pretty bells and whistles, but there heavy and clumsy. But, Radon is different. Radon is highly specialized to do one thing and do it right. Radon lets you surf the internet fast, and in style. And, Radon 1.5 is no different. But, don't take our word for it. Radon beat Firefox, Safari, Camino, OmniWeb, iCab, and Opera in benchmark testing. As a matter of fact, it didn't just beat them, but destroyed them, proving to be an average of 1.5x faster.

Web Browsers are different then they used to be. They feature better graphics, snazzy icons and buttons, and fit into your OS like a glove PERIOD. But, through all this, they lose sight of what THEIR purpose is as an application. MAINSTREAM browsers have all the pretty bells and whistles, but THEY'RE heavy and clumsy.
Despite these little typographical errors, I'll still give it a try!

This application gets better with each update, but I don't like many of the interface things:
1. The preferences do not have a good layout
2. The Krypton panel is rather ugly
3. The buttons (toolbar, preferences, etc.) are kind of gross
4. I don't like brushed metal
5. Do not make the URL field look like a search bar!!! Rounded is not attractive...
6. And more...
Here's a thought: make it look like a unified version of Safari. Give it a smart, uncluttered, look and feel. It makes me think I'm in some sort of a Cocoa maze. Take the preferences and downloader, for instance: they don't have much content, therefore they should be small panels. Also, I wouldn't use utility panels. Not good!
Another thing, the whole goal of Mac OS X is "you know one program, you know all". Your keyboard shortcuts should match Safari. Apple made them what they are for a reason:
Page bigger: ⌘+
Page smaller: ⌘-
Page normal size: ⌘0
Back: ⌘[
Forward: ⌘]
Home: ⌘⇧H
View source: ⌥⌘U
Reload page: ⌘R
Stop: ⌘.
Downloads (Krypton): ⌥⌘L
Clean up the interface and then this is a GOOD web browser.

After downloading it wanted to know if I would like to download the update which was available. I took the download and the installer reloaded the Browser. It then wanted to update and I did so 3 times finally I gave up. In preferences I indicated my start page as www.versiontracker.com/macosx I clicked the home button but nothing changed. I quit Radon and relaunched it and found that my preference was wiped out even though I had clicked the Apply button. The start page had the address of Versiontracker but it was a Blank page.I gave up on this browser as I could do nothing with it. I'm using a Powerbook G4 with 10.5.2 in this case and I am consequently hesitant about installing Radon on my other Macs (2other G4 Powerbooks and a G5 PowerMac.)
