I hate Flock, cuz it’s a copied Firefox!!! There is only 1 stinkin’ difference, it’s the menu (for bloggers), and that it starts much longer than Firefox! I think that Flock is a total Rip-Off!!!

P.S. GO SAFARI!!!

Anybody know if Flock has the same Memory Leak problem that plagues FF?

I have been using Firefox for a long time.It is a fantastic web browser.Safari is also a useful browser.I have recently downloaded Flock in my computer.Its fine but not as good as Firefox or Safari.Lets wait for the upgrade version of Flock.

@Fry: Much thanks for your analysis. I’m convinced to try Flock again after reading it. I’m in the same predicament as you: I like Firefox for what it is, but Safari is so much more polished and stable. However, if Flock actually handles RSS (Safari’s only exclusive feature better than Safari, it might be worth the bug hunt.

Flock is a no-brainer for me. I actually haven’t been using Firefox in favor of Safari for a long time because Safari handles RSS feeds in a much better manner than Firefox. In the flock testing build I’m using (.8.0.99) it handles virtually all Firefox Extensions I’ve tried (from Mozilla’s site) handles RSS feeds better than Safari as a whole (although I’ve encountered a lot of bugs) has a search bar that will search your local favorites and give quick access to them, and has the social element to boot. The only area I see Firefox as still being superior is in the themes department. Installing Firefox Themes in flock makes it so the feed reader just blatantly doesn’t work, and there are no flock themes on the official site. I’m hoping for improvement here in the future. Oh yeah. Flock is also buggier and less stable. That’s something I’m expecting to be fixed in the future, but if it bugs me too much, I’ll head back to Safari.

Hmm, we cannot compare the two really, especially considering that Flock is still in its beta and Firefox is reached the 2.0 version. Flock is still based on the older Firefox 1.5.x codebase. The 0.8 beta release of Flock is going to be based on the FF2.0 codebase.

Now, Flock has not started to chuck FF outta the picture, coz well it’s a simple reason that they can’t. They need the FF code to run Flock. They are branding it as a “social” browser, the name Flock even ! So, yeah making it a default browser can be even thought about ONLY once they are on the level playing field. As of now, my relationship with Flock has of course been on-and-off. I give it a whirl, every time they update, however, it’s never really spent time on my computer for more than a couple of weeks at a stretch =D!

I use both. The blogger in me is really loving flock, although since it’s still in beta, I’m not ready to make it my default browser yet. It has it’s pros and cons, but I think it may give FireFox a run for it’s money.
