Flock (similar social browser) made switch to chrome! Lets see if this too

i do not see them releasing frequent updates because it takes a lot of effort to maintain a web browser.

unless of course if they just have to change some DLL files or other files for updating the rendering engine powering the browser.

anyways, it is a terrible idea to use a browser from some unknown company because there is no one to verify if they are not doing anything nasty.

using a web browser from some unknown company is almost similar to working on a public machine. you cannot trust anything on it!

web browser is probably the most important component on a machine after the operating system! probably more important than the OS.

i seriously want to download it and check it out. but really, do not want to go through the entire trouble. they have no screenshots on the site when i checked. so i cannot really tell if it is just a skinned browser or something totally different. they say it is based on mozilla firefox and not the gecko rendering engine so i can only assume that they have just modified the firefox browser and not developed a brand new user interface like flock did (i think).
