Rockmelt Blog

We took everything you liked about RockMelt’s one-click Share and made it 10x better.

In addition to new features like thinner Edges and easier App adding, the latest RockMelt includes a completely re-designed Share button that lets you share to multiple people and services simultaneously.

Looking for Social Reading? It’s coming VERY soon.

Here’s what’s new in RockMelt:

Incredible Sharing

If you liked the Share button before, you’re going to love it now. Thanks to all your feedback, the Share button now lets you do all the following — at the same time:

  • Post to multiple friends’ walls on Facebook
  • Send multiple Facebook messages
  • Update your own Facebook status
  • Share to multiple Twitter accounts
  • Share to Facebook groups

Easier App Adding

You can now add Apps to your App Edge in one click. As you surf the web, your RockMelt will suggest sites at the top of your App Edge — just click on them to start getting instant updates.

Thinner Edges

The Edges and the navigation bar in the latest RockMelt are now thinner than before. The result? More room for you to browse.

Chromium 14

This RockMelt upgrade also includes all the enhancements from the latest stable version of Chromium to make it better than ever.

We’re excited to announce the new version of RockMelt fresh out of the oven! Here’s what’s new in version 0.9.64.253:

Chromium 13

RockMelt is now better than ever thanks to all the security and performance improvements in the latest stable version of Chromium.

Theme Support on New Tab Pages


 
Themes now apply to every part of RockMelt, including the New Tab page! To give your browser some personality, just head over to the Chrome Web Store and pick out a theme that catches your eye.

Here are some of our favorite themes:


We’ve also fixed over 100 bugs in the this update to make RockMelt even more reliable (including the issue a few of you were experiencing of having to log into facebook.com every time).

Your RockMelt will update automatically over the next few days, but if you want the new version now (while it’s still hot), look for About RockMelt under the RockMelt menu, and then restart RockMelt.

Happy browsing!

p.s. There are some known issues in Chromium 13 that may prevent some extensions and themes from working properly. We’re keeping a close watch on these and will update RockMelt once the Chromium fixes are available.
