    Rockmelt


    So...who else is using it? I just got my copy and it seems pretty darned quick.
    I've been a diehard FF guy since 1.X...but this is pretty impressive.
    Gonna have to fool around a bit.

    Any first thoughts from anyone?

    I've read a lot about it in the recent news. Seems like it's geared for social networking. So I probably will skip Rockmelt, unless I see another benefit. Has the same or similar engine as Chrome?

    It is very chrome like...indeed. Fast, RSS feeds on one side, FB on the other.

    I would be worried about malware and other such things. GL :)

    It is based on Chromium platform the same as Chrome and is very similar~but instead of me trying to describe it, I would suggest this review on Mashable Is RockMelt the Social Web Browser We've Been Waiting For? It does a pretty even-handed job with both pros and cons. I am using along with other browsers and I am impressed with it. This is a beta but has been completely stable for me.

    It looks like another Flock.
