RockMelt Unveils a Web Browser for the Facebook Era
- nickbarnwell 16y agoThis is different than Flock (which was a failure) how?
- alanh 16y agoTo be pithy — Flock was for nerds (Del.icio.us users); RockMelt is for people (Facebook users). Not convinced they’ll catch on, but at least their target market is bigger, no?
- nickbarnwell 16y agoNeither is a particularly good idea. People find the current tools perfectly adequate, and as 3/4 of them tell me "I use the big E" or "the red fox" when asking what browser they're using, I doubt this is going to gain much traction.
- languagehacker 16y agoSo, uh, what component of this browser isn't already addressed in a Firefox plug-in? I doubt it has things like performance increases that would make me choose it over, say, Chrome when I need to go faster than FF. If its intended audience is less tech-savvy folks, I think they'll have a hard time getting them to even try something that's not IE.
