RockMelt – A Social Browser For Facebook

RockMelt, a new browser designed around you and how you use the Web. RockMelt is not still popular and only few people know about this new browser which built on Chromium, the open source project behind Google’s Chrome browser. As RockMelt is built on Chromium, it’s fast, secure, and stable.

Users of Google Chrome will feel at home, because RockMelt is built on Chromium, you can see here the power of open source technology. As Google launched the Google+ social project, Now Facebook and RockMelt are officially working together in a product partnership to make Facebook more social. Facebook made no investment in RockMelt, nor is it going to help promote or distribute the browser, at least initially, but in future we can’t say what happens. If you are a big fan of Facebook then this is one of the best browser for you.
