The RockMelt Web Browser is a new way to explore the Internet based off of the wildly successful [Google Chrome browser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chrome-browser). RockMelt aims to keep you in the social loop by integrating websites like [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grey-scale-browser-extensions) and [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/data-tracking) directly into your browser.

The RockMelt Web Browser has yet to be released, but you can see a sample of it in action in the featured video. While the video does seem a little contrived, the RockMelt browser looks pretty polished and seems to make keeping up with friends and family a snap. I'm not ready to abandon the S.S. FireFox just yet, but I'll certainly keep my eye on RockMelt.
