Why then not build your world directly in the browser? “, explain its creators on the official blog, where they also assure that, instead of having content as protagonists,“RockMelt is designed around you”.

In addition, in the upper right corner there is a shortcut forshare contenton social networks like Twitter or Facebook with a simple click. And if you are one of those who visit a site a dozen times a day to check for updates, now RockMelt “tracks it for you, notifying you when a new post is published or there is a video that interests you available.”
The browser is built onChromium, the free version of Google’s Chrome browser, which in turn is based on WebKit, the code behind Apple’s Safari browser. Therefore it is foreseeable that it will be fast, safe and stable.
