Andreessen-backed "RockMelt" Browser Hits the Web

Kenneth Musante — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 10:37:29 +0000

RockMelt, the new socially-focused web browser backed by Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, was released (by beta invite request only) Monday. The browser aims to transform web browsing into a true social experience by closely integrating with Facebook, Twitter and other social networks.

The browser has been in development for two years, and uses the Chromium engine pioneered by Google’s Chrome browser. RockMelt founders Eric Vishria and Tim Howes recently sat down with PCMag.com to talk about their new toy and how it stands out from Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, Flock, and all the rest of them.

“All the browsers available today, although they’ve gotten a lot faster, are still just about navigating web pages. We built features into the browser to address people’s three top browsing behaviors: interacting with friends, consume news and information, and searching,” said Howes.

With all the competition, RockMelt faces an uphill battle. Even the critically-acclaimed Flock social browser, which aims for basically the same target, has yet to capture a mainstream audience. But RockMelt has a couple of aces up its sleeve. continued…

Embarrassing: Google Earth Doesn't Work In Google Chrome For Macs

nickoneill — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 13:27:23 +0000

You would think that Google would make their various services work efficiently within Google Chrome, the company’s increasingly popular web browser. While reading an article about Google Earth images of Haiti, I saw the image below which highlights that Google Earth doesn’t work within Chrome. Granted, Chrome is extremely fast on most other things, but wouldn’t Google at a minimum provide support for their own product?
