Beta Version: works OK, new features.

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have downloaded to my Desktop Demeter 1.52b and did so without any problems, whatsoever. I repeat, it downloads smoothly with no problem. Because I value Demeter 1.0 and use if for my Default Browser, I intend to keep the two Demeter versions downloaded; but separate. The new Beta version has many new features that will take time to explore. Ken has done plenty of effort and work on the new version----it will be a better Demeter when it is subjected to the trails and errors of the market place. You should try it, recognizing that it is Beta. One problem that I have quickly noticed: in Preferences the setting for FONTS---the adnjustment for setting font sizes does not work. This same problem was on Shiira many moons ago when I trashed it away. The Font Size setting is kaput. Thanks for the Beta version. It works on the same well-designed base as Demeter 1.0; and eventually this Beta version will be a worthy replacement.
It ERASED all my Feeds

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I have been using Demeter since it was called Super Shiira, if my memory serves me well, I believe that was back during the Beta release days of 1.0bxx. I must confess that I am not a WebKit fan, I much prefer Gecko, which is why my primary browser is Camino, nevertheless, I have been highly impressed with Super Shiira and its Demeter incarnation, so much so, that it has become my second most favorite browser, it beats the pants out of Firefox for Macintosh. I can't wait to see what a wonderful browser Demeter becomes as it progresses, kudos to the developer for his dedication and that results that his hard work has accomplished.
This IS an outstanding Browser

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This browser does it all. I have watched this browser develop over its various permutations and with each version it gets more and more stable and versatile.It does RSS as well or better than Safari and in addition is very Mac Like without the bloat that Opera has. It is incredibly fast as well. It deserves 5 Stars. (I am not related in any way to the developers)
