UPDATE: RockMelt has partnered with Facebook to provide you better Facebook chat, more Facebook integration, and a streamlined facebook.com experience.
RockMelt is a web browser designed around you and how you use the Web. RockMelt does more than just navigate Web pages. It makes it easy for you to do the things you do every single day on the Web: share and keep up with your friends, stay up-to-date on news and information, and search.
RockMelt is fast, secure, and stable because it’s built on Chromium, the open source project behind Google’s Chrome browser. It’s your browser – re-imagined and built for how you use the Web.
RockMelt is the first browser you log into, it unlocks your Web experience with your Facebook friends, your feeds, your favorite services, even your bookmarks and preferences. RockMelt is also the first browser to be fully backed by the cloud. This means you can access your personal browsing experience from anywhere, and you get quick updates from the people and sites that are important to you.

Before anyone says anything - don't be paranoid there's no reason this thing would steal your bank account. It certainly has a much smaller chance of doing so than the movies and music I'm sure all of you download as torrents.

Its tabs look likes Google Chrome and buttons likes Opera Latest

interesting :) but is there any offline installer?

SMBR: The tabs look like Chrome's because this is based on Chromium (the browser on which Chrome is based). They have the same ancestor; they are brothers... sort of...
Unfortunately you need a Facebook account for it, which I don't have (probably one of those 1% of people who don't). Because I won't create an account just to test a browser, I can't tell you whether it's good or bad. It looks cool however.

After the success of google chrome too many browser built on chromium. Even mozilla introduced flock 3 in chromium. It is not too long that firefox & IE will be built on chromium.

Really nice from point of view. Thanks for the nice Update!
@a you need a facebook account because it is currently written in the browser's code to ask for the facebook account details so It can take you to the current page, maybe later on it might later let you use it without the need/use of a facebook account.
P.S. Every Pray for Japan!
