RockMelt: Google Chrome, Only Better

Posted by timothy on from the red-hot-magma dept.

Barence writes "PC Pro has an in-depth review of RockMelt, a new browser which it claims is better than Google Chrome. RockMelt is built on the same Chromium core as Google's browser, but adds a host of social networking, news feed and search features that elevate it above Chrome. The App Edge, for example, 'allows you to set up feeds for anything from your Twitter or Gmail accounts to your favourite news sites, and get a little iPhone-style numeric reminder of the number of items awaiting your attention.' It does, however, lack Chrome's built-in Flash, PDF and audio players."

    Social media integration was such a great idea, and worked so well for Flock, I don't see why these guys could possibly fail.

    Does any body here remember when the Internet didn't suck the life out of you, and exhaust your will to see tomorrow?

    Thanks!

    Of course I was online before 1997. I just try not to remember it!
