This software says it's beta and it ain't lying. It beachballs frequently, lots of windows fail to resize/scroll so you lose content while you type into 'em, the RSS bookmarking/reading feature is pretty well broken, and performance is hurky jerky from fast to pitifully slow depending on what buttons you push. This isn't "Google Beta", this is the real deal.
That said, it's a great idea. It's a community-centeric web browser with built in blogging, RSS reading, collaborative bookmarks via De.lico.us, flickr support, and all that wonderful stuff that makes Mozilla fun. (Plug ins! Get yer plug ins!)
If you're a Web 2.0 hipster (or hipster wanna be) this is THE KILLER APP! It's got a ways to go, but boy, I keep using it as though the more pages I visit and the more I WISH it were stable, the better it would become.
It isn't working. I guess I'll just submit a couple dozen bug reports.
A+ for idea, D for actual product. But it's in beta, so go easy.
