A beta of a new "social" web browser named RockMelt, which is based on Google’s open source Chromium code, was splashed onto the interwebulator today.

    I don't use Facebook or Twitter. And this browser already smells bad with all this Facebook automatic update crap. Something is wrong and I already don't like it. Hopefully it will not take off because the last thing I need is another stupid browser full of security holes to support on my clients.

    Sounds like a Google version of Flock ... which has the most annoying feature that if you go to FB then it demands that its given access to your FB account and wont accept NO for an answer and keeps bringing up the same dialogue box over and over again... something which the developers think is the right thing to do.

    I think I'll steer well clear.

    Users "haven’t prioritised [security] concerns"

    They ARE Facetards. Surely that's your explanation right there in a nutshell?

    Thanks for the heads-up

    RockMelt now firmly written in my application black list, just under Facebook and next to MySpace.
