Some initial thoughts:

+ Doesn't bog down like Safari when viewing heavy pages (like a Tumblr archive page).
+ Slick appearance with some nice animations

- Middle click doesn't open links in new tab (ideally in background)
- Non-standard toolbar that does not allow customization of any sort.
- Download window takes focus despite not ticking box to allow it.
- I would much prefer the DL window nixed in favor of the way Safari handles downloads.
- "Adult" icon feels silly. I'm not offended but it seems something more tasteful could be conjured up.

Overall, it feels lean and efficient and I look forward to it's future.

This browser has progressed and I'm enjoying using it. One minor point directed at the developer … Why doesn't Google's new background images work on their igoogle page? Also the full screen page doesn't work like it does with many other apps optimized for OS Lion.

Please eneable the 'Compatibility Mode' in the Preferences…

And yes, Browser's fullscreen is actually usable on screens bigger than 11 inch :-)

I'm also finding Browser's Full Screen mode a little perplexing. While the app does fill the screen, the actual browser remains unexpectedly reduced in size, unlike Safari, Chrome, or Firefox. It defeats the whole appeal of full screen mode.

I installed v1.1.3 of Browser today and can't tell you how bad a change this is from v1.1.2; I can't even launch it; the Dock icon just keeps pulsing; but window comes up; all I get it the pulsing Dock icon. I have removed it (moved to Trash, as well as all related files to Browser) and even rebooted and unzipped the archive file again and installed it again in my root Applications folder. Still no joy. Going to Activity Monitor doesn't help either as Browser isn't coming up as a process running.

So into the trash this version goes.

@Apfelz.
I've emailed the console log file, a snapshot of my Activity Monitor (filtered on Browser) and my Dock to show that though app is in the Dock and flashing (like it's starting up), it isn't running and exits with a 1 in the console log. I hope this helps.

very nice browser, but missing much functionality unless you use dropbox, and no plugin support ...safari should be as smooth and snappy as this

Well, I tried this momentarily and was not overly impressed unfortunately. : To be honest, it needs stronger developmental aspects. The developer should take some cues from Sunrise. I really appreciate, for example, how Sunrise displays the page source in that you can display it in a pane under the html rendering and then when you refresh, the html source also refreshes and remains at the same position.

In all, there is some potential here if the dev can implement some more compelling aspects, particularly for developers.

That's sad @Apfelz. Something so relatively easy to implement and that would capture some additional users so quickly discounted. Ah well, we each have our own prerogatives.

No serious developer would use Browser (otherwise please let me know, I am teachable) - simply because it it is not designed for that. So it does not make any sense to build in yet others features to make everybody happy. And Browser slower and slower and cluttered and cluttered.

Browser is written for a purpose or is there anybody out there using Sunrise for serious surfing? (Again, please let me know if I am wrong.)

And this has nothing to with prerogatives or anything else or to offend anyone.

It is simply not its purpose and you either do it really got or skip it…

Regarding the problems with YouTube.
As far as I can see it they only happens when in Flash mode. H.264 is working fine.

Or has someone problems in HTML5 mode as well?

Looked so promising and defiantly unique but although there are some nice features I can't help but point out that it has serious headaches when it comes to various sites I have tried to access one being youtube.

At the moment it is unusable for me, keep up the work and fix these issues and you'll gain the extra 2 stars!

Could you please send a link to a video with problems - I can't reproduce problems with YouTube. And can you please tell me something about your internet connection? And links to other sites with problems?

If you like, you can use the integrated Feedback tool.

Thanks.

Well it's a very inconsistent glitch/bug sometimes a video can cause problems then other times it can work fine, the last one to have a problem was: http://youtu.be/GI6CfKcMhjY

It appears to be more often with videos with adverts if that helps?

My internet isn't the fastest granted however I haven't had problems with any other webkit browser.

I guess that happens when you tweak the performance to much :-)

Could you please check for me what happens if you directly reload the page?

I haven't tweaked the performance..
Also if you press the RSS button it breaks the back forward buttons.

Also rename porn mode, as it's not always used for porn, I don't really want to enter porn mode when buying my wife a present for example!

1. I didn't allow you to use my Dropbox folder by default.
2. Also after upgrade from 1.0 to 1.0.1 I still see your adv page on browser start.
3. And finally, omg, no 'Open link in new tab' on middle click?

Browser is a Browser. A browser with WebKit inside - thus there is no need to tell you about the browsing experience. There's simply is no better way to surf the web.

So - why another one? Because browsing should be about finding - not searching. Finding websites, content, bookmarks and pages stored for reading later.

Tag it, baby! Tired of searching for bookmarks? Need your brain for more important tasks than remembering URLs? That's why Browser allows to tag bookmarks and directly open them by simply searching for such a tag. And because sometimes a tag isn't enough - Browser also allows to make use of comments.

Drobox. Enabled All bookmarks, all pages stored for later reading are automatically available on all your Macs. Incl. all your tags and comments.

History. Repeating. But wouldn't it be great to actually have the complete history on all Macs available as well? Guess what.

12345. Fail. And because we all use such risky passwords, Browser will store secure ones for you. And you only have to remember a single one.

Lots more.
