Rockmelt is a proprietary social media web browser developed by Tim Howes and Eric Vishria based on the Google Chromium project, incorporating social media features such as Facebook chat, Twitter notifications and widgetised areas for other content providers such as YouTube and local newspapers. The Rockmelt web browser project was backed by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen.
Although the browser was launched in private beta on November 8, 2010 for desktop, it is not currently supported on the PC or Mac due to work on the iPad and other mobile releases. Rockmelt is now exclusively for iOS (both iPhone and iPad) and Android with versions for Windows 8, and desktop planned.
Rockmelt was created by Rockmelt, Inc., located in Mountain View, California. The first version of their web browser was released November 8, 2010 and the final version, 2.2.0, was released February 9, 2013.
On August 2, 2013, Rockmelt was acquired by Yahoo!. Rockmelt’s apps and website will shut down after August 31, 2013. Yahoo plans to integrate Rockmelt’s technology throughout various products.
