RockMelt – The Social Browser – Is Now Open For Download

RockMelt is a socially focused web browser that is built on top of Chromium (Google Chrome Engine). Up until the last 24 hours, access to the web browser was via invite only. All that has changed.

RockMelt is now freely available to download for all!

RockMelt’s unique selling point is its integration with social networks such as Twitter and especially Facebook. Facebook Chat and Facebook status updates are built into the browser. You can pretty much do anything you would ordinarily do on Facebook through RockMelt. You can also access your Twitterfeed and post tweets directly from within RockMelt.

According to a TechCrunch article, RockMelt has just under 1 million active users with the average user keeping the browser open for 6 hours per day.

As a plus, because it is built on top of Chrome, all of Chrome’s extensions can be installed in RockMelt.
