I'm interested in seeing what they have to offer. I always liked Netscape back in the day.

Haha, there is no competition for me. I am an avid Opera user and fanboy. For the rare thing that doesn't work in Opera I resort to IE 8.

Lets see what they have to offer, maybe its an evolutionary step, maybe its revolutionary, maybe its all hype.
The ballot screen is being debated elsewhere, but IMHO its a stupid development!

No ways, please! There are already far too many browsers on the 'net, why do we need yet another and with such a stupid name as "RockMelt". Enough already!
