Flock Browser

I cam across this browser during my travels.

I would say this is a pretty good browser. Forecast Fox, ad block , flash block, customize google, foxy tunes and a bunch of other add ons are available for it. There are no themes yet but I am sure they will come along soon enough.

I like the drag and save text and image feature, pretty handy. The tool bars are easy to adjust to ones liking, the my news and photo uploader are good. It has all the other features mozilla suite and mozilla firefox have. The built in blog feature is nice since I have one now.

It has that web search thing with google, yahoo, wink, wikipedia, ebay, ask etc.

Very easy to add new news feeds. Lots of features in the preferences and accounts and services section.

The spell checker and pop up blocker work good. It comes with US english as default but I clicked on download more and had Canadian english downloaded and installed in seconds.

This is a very easy Browser to use and figure out.

I would say this is a fine browser. I run linux (Kubuntu, which is debian based) and I think I will use this for a while. I still like Opera, Konqueror and Mozilla suite but since this is new I will use it for a while and see if any bugs show up.

This is just the beta version but it is sweet and will only improve over time as more add ons, themes, features etc become available.

I would download and give it a try, in addition to Linux, there is Mac and Windows versions available.

Yeah I'd say Flock is pretty cool as well, when I tested it I just wanted to write a little blog post for fun, but I ended up writing a big-ass rant about why I hate OS X :P
