But I can't help but feel that there haven't been many new features, Roccat 2.0 was amazing and introduced lots of new features, but since then nothing new has been added except security & visual updates and bug fixes. I would like to see some new features, afterall I always saw Roccat as the browser which was progressing the most, I understand there is a limit to the amount of new things which can be added but still would like to see something new!
Hopefully your next version will bring something awesome, if you bring something new and awesome I will rate a 5 star again!

- connection to leading password managers is obviously not given
- import option of bookmarks only restricted to the ridiculous Safari and the even less appreciated Chrome applications are a strong con.
We have started planning our own Implementation but it will take a very long time due to the high amount of security and testing required.
We support Firefox as well as Safari and Chrome for bookmark importing. What browser did you have in mind?

some weeks ago i have been changing to Chromium, seen the fact that Omniweb was no longer supported by recent 1PW versions, and i never have been regretting this step, quite in the opposite
If you would like to send us your email via our contact form at: http://runecats.com/contact.html we'll be sure to contact you back with any progress we have either with 1PW or in our own implementation.
Thanks

Seems a purdee decent browser, but will use it a while longer before posting a review. I do, however, like the grey "eco" background in the search page -- philosophically, if not aesthetically. Not so much for the saving of energy, but for the minimal wear and tear on my rig's LEDs.
Kind Regards,

But opening tabs is hassle. Everytime I have to do cmd + N. Please provide a button for opening new tab.

The tab thing is only for the second tab...once there are two tabs there is a + sign on the tab bar.
Also the VisiTab feature...I think its not unique to this browser. Opera is having this since years.
Yes VisiTabs are no longer unique but it was while Roccat was evolving through other projects. Opera and even Internet explorer in Windows 8 have now adopted a similar method.
We think that Roccat's VisiTabs hold the advantage of scrolling which means your tabs stay the same size no matter how many you have open. Opera's implementation makes the tabs width decrease each time a tab is added, so if you have 80 tabs for example it makes it very difficult to see which tab is which.

Great web browser i think its better than "Camino's Browser" ... but Roccat
needs some improvement on Flash, pages like "yahoo movies" this browser
runs weird.
would be perfect if you can add an option that we can BLOCK FLASH, or
a Extension we use.. like "safari click to flash"
i really like your software runs very fast on my POWERBOOK G4
please help me how can i block flash..
Firstly thanks for using Roccat, we are always trying hard to be the best.
Click to Flash works with Roccat - see here: http://runecats.com/extendroccat.html
I hope this helps, if you have any more questions just shoot them at me!
Kind Regards,
Nathan

The auto-reloader is nice to have built in however Chrome and Firefox do have this availible as a ad-on.
Lion Fullscreen is great not enougth programs yet alone browsers are supporting this standard so great to see Roccat using it.
But the feature which really stands out is RClouds, now as far as I am aware there is nothing like this in any browser. RClouds has already been very useful for me, I can make up all my open tabs, history, bookmarks etc.. at home and restore everything at the mac at my workplace, you can then use reset when you are finished. So it can be used as a backup as well as making everything far more portable.
I also have to mention that it seems smoother and snappier than ever before.
Giving credit when due :)

Secondly we believe this issue has been solved, we worked with MacUpdate to prevent this from happening in the future and MacUpdate kindly went through the users removing the "overly enthusiastic" ones.
We have kept in contact with MacUpdate and if anything suspicious arrises we will report it to MacUpdate asap.

I'd say that Firefox and Safari are more competent browsers …I'll take either one, with the nod going to Firefox, over Roccat. Even Chromium outdoes Roccat IMHO.
The one big, big, shortcoming of Roccat is that there's no apparent way to save passwords, which makes Roccat rather a pain in the ass to use regularly.
Anyway, does the world really NEED another browser? Hmmm?

After you've launched it 10 times, you've got 10 tabs, even if you haven't used the app!!!

Yes, I can deactivate the homepage thing in the prefs but last opened tabs always re-open on launch and I haven't found a setting for that.
