Netscape Founder Backs New Browser

“”The days of working in isolation on your computer are mostly
gone,” said John Lilly, the chief executive of Mozilla. “Because
the Web has become so central to what we do, and the browser is the
technology that mediates our interaction with the Web, the way the
browser works is really important. There is a lot of room for
innovation.”

“Mr. Andreessen’s backing is certain to make RockMelt the focus
of intense attention. For now, the company is keeping a lid on its
plans. On the company’s Web site, the corporate name and the words
“coming soon” are topped by a logo of the earth, with cracks
exposing what seems to be molten lava from the planet’s core. A
privacy policy on the site, which was removed after a reporter made
inquiries to Mr. Vishria, indicates the browser is intended to be
coupled somehow with Facebook. Mr. Andreessen serves as a director
of Facebook.”
