    Default Flock - The Social Web Browser for socialists

    Is anybody here using Flock - Flock — the social web browser - It's based on Firefox but has more social features such as the ability to post to your blog directly from the browser and a nice flickr/photobucket/del.ic.ious a/c sync' feature built into the core of it.

    I'm in love with it - Introducing the Flock Browser for Mac/Windows/Linux, it’s like Firefox but more socially acceptable….and better! | Cormac Moylan
    - Flock is availabe on Mac/Linux/Windows

    Oh, I came across that a while back but forgot about it before I could download it. Is it really that good?

    What's it like for rendering and web standards?

    It's got the firefox engine underneath so it renders the same exact way as FF. The major difference is that the extras have been tried and tested with the browser so the likeyhood of any dodgy plugins is reduced.

    I'd advise you to give it the one over again BMJ.

    It's like a modded up Firefox basically. Pretty snazzy - but i'll stick with Opera :P

    I think I will. No harm to have a nose around anyway.

    BTW, I liked the blog post. Very good!
