Given that Facebook has known privacy issues, there might be concerns with using Facebook Connect to save your browsing history. Resource for this article – Rockmelt – The possibly too socially connected browser by Personal Money Store.

Chromium base on Rockmelt

Rockmelt is a browser backed by Marc Andreessen, one of Netscape’s original developers. The browser utilizes Chromium, the open-source basis of Google’s Chrome internet browser. It is a browser that can handle pretty much anything. It is HTML-5 compliant as well. Rockmelt is in limited beta release, and users have to request an invitation to use the socially-connected browser.

Rockmelt cloud-based searching

No matter what computer you use, Rockmelt allows you to conserve and continue using your browsing preferences. Rockmelt uses Facebook Connect, and integrates your friends list and chat directly to the browser. You will have the newest content on your bookmarked pages come up. Rockmelt will let you know if there is something that needs to be read. Rockmelt developers explain that the program is more for those active within the web. It’s meant for searching pages which is passive.

The partnership between Facebook and Rockmelt

One of the most unique features of Rockmelt is that it requires a Facebook login. Rockmelt has lots of interactivity about it that mostly connects with Facebook. Also, your Facebook identity is where your search preferences are stored. There have been rumors of Facebook allegedly misusing personal information. This has caused many to stop use. The only way to keep personal info safe is to keep tight control on who has it and where it goes. So before you download and use Rockmelt, it would be prudent to think about very carefully if connecting all your personal details on Facebook to all your web-browsing history is something you want to take place.
