I'm speechless...
I never thought the day would come that I would expand out of my Safari / Firefox worlds. That is until I read this article this morning. I was skeptical, since installing it first thing this morning, I've been blown away. Here's just a couple quick things that have really impressed me:
RSS Reader. I've been a huge fan of NewsFire, but the RSS reader incorporated with this browser seems to do everything I ever liked in NewsFire: flagging, organizing, searching, etc. and all without needing a separate program. It also gives you more options for viewing the feeds.
Search Box Customization: Before is Safari 2, there was a great plug-in called AcidSearch. It allowed me to customize what search engines were in the default Safari box. Invaluable! But having freezing problems with Safari made me upgrade to the Beta 3.0, but that turns off that feature and I'm not sure AcidSearch is getting updated anytime soon.
Firefox Plugins: To have access to this wonderful world of plug-ins is hugely beneficial.
Bookmarks: I like how it manages and displays bookmarks better than Safari & Firefox.
Then of course there are all the social media features of Flock, such as seeing all your Facebook, Flickr & YouTube friends. Not a huge deal for me, but quite impressive how it's been integrated. Including the integration of multimedia - uploading your own photos to those services, searching them, etc.
Finally, there's the blog editor, which I'm using right now to post this article (we'll see if it works).
Here's an article for you:

I'll have to give it a try, though I'm not an active Facebook user. I also wonder if it incorporates Pownce in addition to Twitter.
