A new browser called RockMelt?

With a name like RockMelt, how could it not catch on?

From the video it looks similar to chrome, with a little of Facebook sprinkled in..

Why does everybody want Facebook involved in EVERYTHING?

He probably wants facebook to buy him out...If it's any good.

I'll stick to FF though.

Don't have a FB or Twitter account, so this would be worthless to me.

This will be useless for me as well, but you gotta think about the millions of people using Facebook regularly... They will probably love it, so I wont be surprised if it becomes a success

I only use Facebook, but still not that much. I've been using the browser for a few hours now and it actually seems pretty cool.

I use FB regularly and I don't see the point. With tabbed browsing, browsers like this are stupid.

Don't think so. You can close facebook and still talk on the chat app, without thinking if you missed a message or navigate away. Also, the chat windows detach and flat so you can have them on their own. The integration is great.

I still use Netscape. But I am not gay (and won't be a chick in 50 years) and don't use Facebook so I won't need this browser.

Sounds like Flock

Built for Facebook and Twitter
It says there, right on the home page. And it's built on Chrome too.

Here's a review from Ars. I only glossed over it because I don't really care, but it's probably a good review :^D

I just installed Flock and gave it a shot; RockMelt seems far superior.

Or you could open a chat window^_^

Did you even read my post? If you close the Facebook tab you would lose the chat window, and if you're weird like me, you'd close/reopen it making you online/offline over and over which is annoying for the person trying to talk to you. With RockMelt, it's always open so you don't have to change pages to get to it. Pretty cool.

Not to mention the RSS feeds; nothing major but still convenient. I'd like to merge both bars together and just see fewer of my online friends, but maybe that could happen in the future.
