Yeah ... I'll pass.
isn't the "let's put the web inside the browser chrome instead of the main window" quite similar to what flock[1] was already trying? The world is probably different from a few years ago, so there is probably a higher chance that this might succeed. [1] http://flock.com/
I reminds me of something even older than that, leading me to think that Facebook is, or will be, the new AOL.
(I am somewhat biased because I run a vaguely similar (but very different implementation) service: http://readness.com)

Don't specialised browsers like Flock and now Rockmelt get superseded by browser extensions that provide 99% of the functionality? You may not be able to put make a tweet this link button right where you want it but you can get pretty darn close.
Roboform for password creation, filling, sync., etc. I find it indispensable and it's one of the few softwares I paid for.
Roboform passcards saved in Dropbox, so my Roboforms on all my machines will sync. There is now a Roboform Online, which I also use, which totally obviates this, and if I'm ever feeling motivated I'll simply move them out of Dropbox. That probably won't happen soon since there's no perceivable benefit.
Xmarks to keep bookmarks synced across different browsers on different machines. I typically use Firefox, though often Chrome, and at work IE for testing stuff.
Some annoying service to sync bookmarks to my Android browser. I tried Firefox beta but it's just not ready, so the stock browser has to do. I still have to manually export these though, yuck.
This giant hodgepodge of services keeps my browser sorta could-based, but it's still far from perfect. I still have to install all this on every machine and set it up. It's annoying to deal with, but it runs smoothly and it works.
Rockmelt could easily replace all of this if they just had an Android browser. Without that I'm still stuck with all of it even if I want to use Rockmelt, which I might if Roboform works. (Roboform online for Android is indispensable too.)
I recently saw that push notifications had been proposed in the HTML5 spec then later removed, not sure why. Although I still think that you have to have a tab open on the site to receive them.
