Mark over at Delusions of Grandeur had a quick hands-on with the tech-preview 1 version of Shiira 2.0, the Web-kit based, Cocoa browser which is slowly taking form as a major player in the world of OS X browsers. Shiira was originally started as an alternative to Safari, but has slowly morphed into a lightweight competitor to the major browsers out and about now (certainly to Firefox, which performs dismally on my Macs). The upcoming major release of Shiira looks exciting with Growl implementation (notifactions on updated RSS feeds!), Tab Exposé, native tabbed browsing (I know I know), tab thumbnails, a new version of the plugin API, and many other features.
