Rockmelt is a very very elegant piece of work, combining into the browser some of the things people have been clamouring for some time now, most specifically not only immediate access to friends to chat with, but also built-in browser-based authentication. The only downside is that the browser keeps you logged in, all the time, to your Facebook account. It's basically mIDm, except it uses the Facebook account to authenticate instead of your own account. Oh, but did I say it's elegant? Try it out and test the search form - now this is the way search should work. So - am I using it? No; I will not go quietly into the walled garden, no matter how sweet the candy. But, you know, millions will. Rockmelt is Chrome based, so if your site works on Chrome, it will work on Rockmelt.
