It would just be nice if Skyfire followed through with the statement on their website.; Like this Reply to this comment

I've been in the beta for months, now, and I have to say that this browser is revolutionary.

It leaves Opera mobile, internet explorer, and even samsung's web browser in the dust.

It loads webpages so fast, it will shock you that all of SkyFire's competitors load as slowly as they do.

I'm a heavy browser, and the most welcome update in this beta is multi line entry. Finally, I can make posts on my phpBB3 forum. I'm not sure if they've fixed the battery slaughtering background mode, yet, but I couldn't ask for more from a program still being developed.

However, it's not Skyfire's fault that you EXPECT to get into a beta. In recent years, developers seem to be releasing beta's only to promote their product. Please remember that this beta product is not going to be widely released, in order to protect it's reputation as it still has many bugs that are being worked on.; Like this Reply to this comment
