The developer of RockMelt touts a rock solid privacy policy (pun intended). Well, my socialite friends, you need not worry. With such deep integration with social networks, a valid concern with RockMelt is privacy. The video is a bit old but still gives a good idea of what RockMelt is: The following video by CNET gives a demo of RockMelt. This emphasis on social integration makes RockMelt – alongside Flock – a niche browser aimed at people that regularly participate in social activities. In addition to Facebook, RockMelt has native integration with dozens (156 by my count) of other popular websites and services – including but not limited to Twitter, YouTube, and Gmail – via RockMelt’s App Center, allowing users to easily and conveniently interact with their favorite websites/services. Heck, you can’t even use RockMelt unless you have a Facebook account.
It takes the Chromium source code and adds in deep social networking integration, specifically Facebook. RockMelt is a third-party fork of Google Chrome.
Are you a social networking hound? Can’t stay away from Facebook? Seeing as the Internet browser is probably the most used application on your computer, if you are a socialite, wouldn’t it make sense to have a browser that feeds your social networking needs? You know, a browser like RockMelt.
