Because everything else is just too racist.

(also see: Mozilla Firefox with a sleek and very stylish jet-black skin and pre-loaded with bookmarks such as sickathanaverage.com)

Gizmodo Preview

Hey, I just realized. I'm half-Latino, yet there is no Latino browser.

Where's my Latino browser complete with links appealing to my interests of chicas, lowriders and tacos?

Because I really love tacos.

EDIT: Okay, picture time.

This is the very first screen you see when starting up Blackbird, the Import Settings screen. Note how it's all black.

Here's what it looks like at first startup It was freaking huge on my monitor, so I shrunk it down to my Firefox's size.

Much better.

Now I point out the main gripes I have with this browser, all asthetic. In my opinion, the browser would look alot better without the default Windows window blue outline. It would look much sleeker and the blue outline is heavily disctracting to me. The vertical scrollbar is also somewhat of an eyesore, specifically the top of it. When everything else is smooth, round and sleek, it is visually jarring for me to see a sudden square shape. They also need to work on their image integration.

The browser comes included with a "Services" bar, which includes links to things like your email, MySpace, Facebook, various news sites, Blackbird Video and Community services (i.e, charity).

The browser also includes many bookmarks the "black culture" would supposedly enjoy immensely, however most of my friends that are black would probably be bewildered by this, as it doesn't fit their tastes at all.

Black Search is a Google Custom Search. That's all that really needs to be said, there's nothing black about it at all.

Overall, this is essentially a jet black-skinned Mozilla Firefox with some new pre-loaded bookmarks. I love the theme, it's a great theme other than the things I pointed out. I think I'll stick with Firefox for now, though.
