Rockmelt is a proprietary social media web browser developed by Tim Howes and Eric Vishria. The project is backed by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen.[2] Rockmelt integrates a technique for surfing the web that focuses on Google Search and social media, in particular Facebook and Twitter.[3]

Although the browser was launched in private beta on November 8, 2010[4] 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), with versions for Android, Windows 8, and desktop planned.[5]

Rockmelt was created by Rockmelt, Inc., located in Mountain View, California.[6]
