Bigging up Flock

TriedandTested · 29 Oct 2007 at 18:15

I'm very suprised to see such a lack of threads on Flock here. It's truely excellent and i recommend you all try out this browser built on (and IMO improving) Firefox.

http://www.flock.com/

The Flock 1.0 beta is available for download. I couldn't get it from the main site yesterday but instead used a link on download.com

The way it integrates with socials sites (Facebook and Youtube for me, but it supports a lot more). Then you have the media bar along the top, the Web Clipboard, and the added bonus that almost all Firefox extensions work with it.

Try it at least, you may be pleasantly surprised.

I have tried many browsers Avant, IE7, Opera etc and have always gone back to Firefox.

I doubt this Flock browser will tickle my tastebuds either.

I did try Flock ages ago when it was a new beta. It was OK then but Firefox was still the king for me then. Now I'm on Opera so I might give this Flock a go and see how it has changed since I last used it.

Bump.

Did anyone try it? Thoughts?

Loaded web page link. Closed it as soon as I saw "the social web browser" tag.

I can't see people flocking to this anytime soon

TriedandTested · 4 Nov 2007 at 18:35

Indeed. What can i say. I thought more people would be willing to try it. Oh well.

I did try it before, but tbh I already had FF configured perfectly so thought nothing of it other than another Opera misfit!

Wash yer mouth out ye blasphemer! :mad:

You know it's true

MarcLister · 4 Nov 2007 at 19:30

Depends which version you mean tbh. If you mean 9.24 then I'd agree. This thing has crashed on me so often its a joke. The 9.5 beta was much more stable for me. Might install it again now.

mrk · 4 Nov 2007 at 19:39

Don't do it man, I'm telling you it's a seriously bad idea!

MarcLister · 4 Nov 2007 at 20:04

What do you know eh?

Mozilla Links Flock 1.0 Review - sounds like a lot of the features are similar to stuff being done in Fx3, e.g. Places (not that Flock 1.0 is using Places, it's doing all this with the ordinary flat files :eek:

), Places queries in the bookmarks toolbar, star to bookmark, tagging (though Fx3 will let you tag everything), the "door hanger" information bar.

The more i use it, the more i like it. I think this could be big, especially with all the social sites, media sharing sites etc that are coming in to play.
