RockMelt is another type of Browser where you can search your favorite sites or asking for the answers of your homework. RockMelt does more than just navigate Web pages. It makes it easy for you to do the things you do every single day on the Web: share and keep up with your friends, stay up-to-date on news and information, and search. And of course, RockMelt is fast, secure, and stable because it’s built on Chromium, the open source project behind Google’s Chrome browser. It’s your browser – re-imagined and built for how you use the Web.
RockMelt Facebook Permission
Before you can test drive RockMelt, you need to give it access to a long list of Facebook permissions. Why does RockMelt need all these permissions and what exactly does it do with them?The short answer is that RockMelt needs these permissions so it can act on your behalf to do in RockMelt many of the things you would otherwise do on facebook.com. RockMelt does NOT use these permissions to steal your information, spam you or your friends, or post anything without you explicitly telling it to.
RockMelt YouTube App Origins
The idea for a YouTube App first came about during our company holiday party, where Emilio volunteered to be our DJ. Although he left his iPod at home, Emilio re-created his playlists on YouTube – and that’s when the fun started.Since YouTube lets you play all the videos in a playlist continuously, we all added our favorite songs to Emilio’s playlist. Occasionally, the music would be stopped by people searching for videos using the same tab that videos were playing from. We also heard some songs five or six times because people didn’t know which ones had already been added. But none of that stopped us – especially Emilio – from having a good time.
Following the party, we also did some research and discovered that YouTube was the #1 RSS feed added to the App Edge!
Given the fun we had and YouTube’s popularity with RockMelt users, we thought it would be great if there was a YouTube App for RockMelt that could re-create the festive atmosphere quickly. Not only would this app let you play YouTube videos easily, it would also include the most-requested features from our party:
- Create playlists and add videos quickly
- Play videos continuously
- Search without interrupting playing videos, and

Your World Built into Your Browser
With RockMelt we’ve re-thought the user experience because a browser can and should be about more than simply navigating Web pages. Today, the browser connects you to your world. Why not build your world right into your browser?
Your friends are important to you, so we built them in. Now you’re able to chat, share that piano-playing-cat video everyone’s going to love, or just see what your friends are up to, regardless of what site you’re on. Your favorite sites are important to you, so we built them in too. Now you can access them from anywhere, without leaving the page you’re on. And RockMelt will tell you when something new happens.
Share or tweet links often? Yeah, us too. No more wading through each site’s goofy share widget or copy-pasting URLs. We built sharing directly into the browser, right next to the URL bar. Like a site or story? Click “Share” and BAM – link shared. You can use it on any site to post to Facebook or tweet about it on Twitter. It’s just one click away. That easy.
Personalized and Backed by the Cloud
Wherever you go on the Internet, RockMelt makes the Web a personal experience. Because RockMelt is the first browser you log into, it unlocks your Web experience with your Facebook friends, your feeds, your favorite services, even your bookmarks and preferences. RockMelt is also the first browser to be fully backed by the cloud. This means you can access your personal browsing experience from anywhere, and you get quick updates from the people and sites that are important to you.
Behind the scenes, RockMelt is always working on your behalf. Do you visit the same site 10 times a day, checking for new posts or updates? Well, RockMelt keeps track of all your favorite sites for you, alerting you when a new story comes out, a friend posts new pictures, or a new video is available. And when you open a RockMelt feed, the content is already waiting for you. You can Like, comment, reply, retweet, share - all the actions you’ve come to expect from each service you follow.
Faster Search
Last but not least, RockMelt makes search faster. And better. We got tired of clicking back and forth trying to find the right search result. So we made search as simple as leafing through a magazine. With RockMelt, you can use your keyboard to flip through Google search results and pick the one you want. Super fast. Super cool.
Rock Solid Foundation
Any intro to RockMelt wouldn’t be complete without recognizing all the tremendous work that came before us—and which we’ve built upon. We’re based on Chromium, the open source project behind Google’s Chrome browser, which in turn is based on WebKit, the open source HTML layout engine used by Apple, as well as a host of other projects from Mozilla and others. These projects, which we contribute to, represent the best browser technology out there. RockMelt wouldn’t be possible without these projects, as well as the open APIs, help and support we’ve received from Facebook, Twitter, and others. We’re proud and deeply grateful to be able to build on the shoulders of these giants. Thanks friends!
Get Your RockMelt On!
After two years of work, RockMelt is still a baby. It’s our baby and we’re proud of it, but we’re most excited about what it will grow into. We’ve just scratched the surface of what we want to do. If you’re on Mac or Windows and you don’t mind some kinks and bugs, we hope you’ll sign up for early access and let us know what you think! We are sending out invitations as fast as we can, while making sure our service scales up. We hope you like RockMelt as much as we do. You can follow our blog or our Twitter account or like us on Facebook for updates. Happy browsing!
