Introducing RockMelt with Quick Launch and Chromium 9

Thanks for all of your feedback and for helping us make RockMelt better!

In addition improving stability and fixing 70+ bugs, we’ve been hard at work upgrading the launch experience and our Chromium base to improve overall performance. In this update, RockMelt now has:

• Quick Launch

RockMelt now starts up faster than ever. With Quick Launch, RockMelt will start immediately and complete the full login in the background so you don’t have to wait for login to complete. To use Quick Launch, just check the “Keep me logged in” option on the login screen.

Of course, if you’re using a shared computer or want to disable Quick Launch later on, you can always log out from the RockMelt menu.

• Chromium 9

Updating to the latest stable release of Chromium (which was released just a few days ago) means that RockMelt not only handles multimedia better, it’s also faster.

Details about other changes in this update can be found at the bottom of this post.

Your RockMelt will download the update automatically within the next day or so but you can update it now by opening the RockMelt menu, choosing “About RockMelt” to download the update, and then restarting to apply the update.

Please keep sending us feedback – we love hearing from you. Much more to come soon so stay tuned!
