When i saw this post i ran over and grabbed Flock. It is pretty similar to FireFox however i have ditched FireFox and now primarilly use Flock. I have found it very nice to have the rss feed reader right in the browser and not have to use another application for it. I also like the ability to blog right from within Flock, however the editor does need quite a bit of work to make if function 100%. Also i dont believe the editor outputs valid xhtml and it should.

With these points i have choosen Flock and look forward to future releases/enhancements. Good work done on the browser so far.

And for the record MAC RULES :) OS X Anyway.

Yes i must agree flock is pretty l33t and in a way its a web2.0 mascot (with flickr,del.icio.us,etc.)
But in the useragent it has the default ff 1.5.0.5 plus flock 0.7.8 (or what ever it is)
And also tip you dont need any flock’d or ff to flock convertors. Just install in flock and when the warning comes up go yes!

After reading this post, I downloaded flock. Its as good as Firefox. All my favorite FF Extensions are available for flock too(If not, I can convert a FF ext to Flock ext)

And I use flickr and del.icio.us rather extensively and see no reason to download a whole other browser just to do that.

Sure, that’s a way of looking at it. The point to me, however, is that Flock makes all these things easier and more accesible.

jakedahn, I see plenty of reasons not to use Windows, but I see many more reasons not to use Mac or Linux, which is off topic.

And I use flickr and del.icio.us rather extensively and see no reason to download a whole other browser just to do that.

I’m not using flickr and del.icio.us, so I’ll stick to FF. That said…

I love my portable FF. *Huggles it*

Glen, you see absolutely no reason to not use windows. I think you’re blind dude.

I worked some QA on flock, and IMO it beats firefox if your looking for a good way to use flickr, and del.icio.us. Otherwise, they are quite similar.

I would say that just the flickr topbar, makes flock more useable than firefox. It’s just not apparant to people who haven’t used it, at all or who don’t use the “social web” meaning things like flickr/del.icio.us, and that sort of thing.

I just see absolutely no reason to use this over firefox.
