Conclusive proof that an unknown brand releasing software as a beta is a recipe for disaster.

Without a reference point for users to consider during their evaluation they won't have the technical/commercial credibility necessary to bail them out if things go wrong.

Google beta's software because they have a track record in releasing excellent software (whatever you think of their real commercial aspirations).

If I was Mr. Ahmed I'd get my money out of Browzar asap.
