Working on the mozilla source code....worst decision ever. They made chrome from scratch and its already got large number of users without any special feature.
They're using the WebKit rendering engine. While Chrome is a great browser, I'd hardly say it was "made from scratch".

Bad. It proves RockMelt doesn't solve a pain-point.
Well, it proves Flock _didn't_ solve a pain-point. I still would like a tool that manages all my social crap nicely.

Sure, but that was Google. If some random, unknown company made a browser just as good as Chrome, it wouldn't have gotten a tenth the users Chrome has now.

Zynga is a web development company. They have no love for browser fragmentation; it means multiple environments they have to develop and test for.
Amen brother. That said, since Flock was build on Webkit I don't know if there's any less fragmentation caused by Flock flying the coop.
When your application's speed is largely based on Javascript performance, this level of fragmentation becomes important.
Ever use a sophisticated web app that said something like "Switching browsers could boost performance 50%!"?

I like RockMelt - I tried Flock but it did nothing for me... Does RockMelt have a business model? dunno. But RockMelt solves the pain of twitter/facebook/linkedin fire hoses (for me)
well if its got a deal with google similar to mozilla's it can make a good chunk of change with commissions on searches. mozilla generates well over $100M/year from google deal.
Sorry to hear this, but I think that the customized browser is basically DOA. It's hard enough to get people to update their main browser as it is. Better to build whatever you have in mind within a conventional browser.
A few years ago, I managed to inherit some laptops that were being thrown out by the company my father was working for at the time. One of them, apparently, used to be used by the CEO, and had Flock installed on it. This was my first introduction to the browser.
