I recently came accross the Mozilla Firefox derivative FLOCK. Even though it is only a developer preview version, it looks very promising. Flock is derived from Firefox, so that most of the extensions (and themes?) should (with little adaption of the community) work with Flock. It has added features though which enhance it towards the social features of the internet aka the Web 2.0
These scial features manifest themselves in elements like a WYSIWYG Blog editor, which works with some popular blog services (as a matter of fact, this blog is written in Flock ;- )
Further Flock introduces favorits instead of bookmarks, which can be shared online on a service http://del.icio.us . In addition to them being possibly viewed by the world, they can also be searched and organised with the help of tags - thus making the organisation much more flexible than the old-style bookmarks.
It also includes RSS feed reader, caching and on-the-fly aggregation.
There is much more to be checked out ... http://www.flock.com
Flock certainly has the potential not only to become a major threat in terms of browser market share, but it definately holds the possibilities to revolutionise/socialise the web browsing experience.
