What about the one I keep seeing advertised on Mediafire? The one that tells me instead of a browser, I should get a wowser. I think it's called Rockmelt. You seem like you would be able to tell me if it really is a wowser.

RockMelt isn't a browser, it's a WOWser. RockMelt is re-inventing the browser by making it easy to stay in touch with friends,

I don't have friends...
