Rockmelt Browser - Awesome Search Capability

I wanted to take a minute to give a shout out for my new favorite web browser, Rockmelt. It is a recently released browser developed by a crack team of people, headlined by Marc Andreessen (of Netscape fame). The browser is trying to nail the social aspect of web browsing by integrating Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and other RSS feeds. This is great by itself.

Another great feature they have though is their new search capability - how it works is that you type in the search term in a browser search bar. The results of that search using google are then presented to you in a simple drop down bar. What's best about this is that it doesn't actually take you to a google search page. Not good for google, but great for the browsing experience, you're spared any meaningless advertisements, and you can actually scroll through the various search results and see the pages loaded in the browser before committing to any given page. AWESOME, and worth a try (see below).

As a final note, Rockmelt is built off of Chromium so brings with it the speed and flexibility that just doesn't exist in anything Microsoft has put out in a long time.

Overall great experience. Check it out, try it out, enjoy!
