EDITOR NOTES
Version for Mac OS X 10.4 available in the 'Related Links' section below on this page.
DESCRIPTION
Radon Browser...Your Internet is fast. Mac OS X is fast. Why can't your web browser be fast? Well it can be with Radon. 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. 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.

Radon is covered under the Forgotten Software License

ELIJAHG0  Very very basic browser, no faster than Safari. Initial launch time is rather slow also, though subsequent launches are faster.

It's Safari, with no features. Sorry.  (Version 1.5)

FORGOTTEN SOFTWARE  We are doing nothing sneaky. The fact that you think that is a little odd. The reason we removed the GPL was purely a tactic to save time. To be open source, you must keep the source updated and easily available, and we tried it and where unable to accomplish it. If we are to be covered under the GPL,. we must do it right. We cant, so we removed that status. Nothing Sneaky.  (Version 1.5)

ROBK  This browser is no longer GPL'd. Why has the developer dropped the GPL and stopped contributing to the Open Source Community? I do not know.

But now you must trust the developer that his code is not doing anything sneaky. Personally, I would stay away from this browser doe this reason. There are other OPEN Source browsers to choose from (e.g. Sunrise, Firefox etc). I would try those browsers first.  (Version 1.5)
