RockMelt Internet Browser 2013

Rockmelt is a proprietary social media web browser developed by Tim Howes and Eric Vishria. The project is backed by Netscape founderMarc Andreessen.[2] Rockmelt integrates a technique for surfing the web that focuses on Google Search and social media, in particularFacebook and Twitter.[3]

The browser was launched in private beta on November 8, 2010[4] and now it is in the public version beta. Rockmelt supports Windows andMac OS X platforms for mobile only.[5] Mobile versions for iPhone and iPad are available.

Rockmelt was[5] based on Google's open-source project Chromium. This is a cross-platform family of browsers that use the open-source web layout engine WebKit[6]—jointly built by Apple, Google, and the open-source community—and Google's V8 JavaScript engine, also open-source.

Rockmelt is similar in functionality to the discontinued Flock social media browser.[citation needed]

Rockmelt was created by Rockmelt, Inc., located in Mountain View, California.[7]

Rockmelt is no longer supported on the PC or Mac due to work on the iPad and other mobile releases.[5] It is no longer listed as an available option on the Rockmelt website.
