Mozilla Labs Introduces the Webian Shell

kai_hiwatari writes "Mozilla Labs has introduced its concept of a desktop replacement called Webian Shell. The Webian Shell basically consists of a browser which will replace the traditional desktop, and web applications are given more importance than the native applications. Right now, the prototype of the Webian Shell is nothing more than a full screen browser with a dock which holds the tabs and the clock." The project's blog offers more about the ideas and underpinnings; there's even more on the home page of developer Ben Francis.

I just want a browser that is efficient and does lots of cool things that make the browsing experience more productive.
IMHO, Opera seems to be the only browser nowadays walking the fine line between features and bloat without falling to either side.
