Is RockMelt the Future Internet Browser?
There was always the need for a social web browser as we all use a lot of social media and social networking as part of our day to day life. Flock was previously claimed to be a social browser but lately users lost interest in flock. One of the possible reasons that made users to leave flock was the frequent crash of the browser.
I think RockMelt won’t have the crash issue. RockMelt is a Chromium project based web browser. RockMelt has surely set up the path for social web browsers (I do say the future of internet browsers). The Internet Explorer 9 which is in its beta stage is going to use pining feature (to pin websites means to grab websites from the tab and drag them down to the taskbar). This feature won’t make IE9 a browser with social integration even though the pining feature is cool.
The registration to the new browser is simple and it is via Facebook authorization. I liked the idea of using a social network for registration purpose. The new browser has already become popular by the name “Facebook Browser”. The browser has already been a viral success as we can already see tons of tweets and likes for the brand new browser. Let us know listen to what the RockMelt team have to say about their brand new social web browser
Some limitations of RockMelt are:
1) As of now RockMelt supports Google as the default search engine.
2) RockMelt loads a facebook application everytime it is loaded. The browser is using facebook extensively. This helps facebook to know everything you do on the web starting from search to which all pages you visit including all your social media accounts. Moreover we have already accepted RockMelt to share information with facebook when we accepted the facebook integration to download the browser.
RockMelt might be a perfect social web browser even-though they have some limitation now. RockMelt is in its beta stages and I do think that the development team might be planning to implement ways to improve privacy as well user experience of the new social browser.
According to the developers
RockMelt does more than just navigate Web pages. It makes it easy for you to do the things you do every single day on the Web: share and keep up with your friends, stay up-to-date on news and information, and search.
The main question the social web browser raises is “Will RockMelt be able to gain the market share with so many browsers out there?

Flock is on Chromium also. The migrated it from mozilla a while ago. Much more stable and faster.
Thanks local SEO, I didn’t know that Flock changed over to Chrome. I haven’t used it in a year or so. Now I have reason to go update it and test it out again
Wow this new browser is really freaking cool!
Leave it to Ann to find something like this. Hehe
