I’m not familiar with Flock but I will use nothing but Firefox. Awesome browser! No drama, no conflicts, limited pop-ups, etc., etc. It’s biggest problem is it is a little memory hungry… but they all are.

IE is good to check your blog/website to be sure it looks good. It’s also essential for the sights that you do business with that do not support Firefox. Other than that, it’s one browser that I would rather do without.

Flock sounds interesting. I’ll keep an eye/ear out for it. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very good article. Thanks for submitting this. There is a lot of usable information here and it gives me something to experiment with myself in terms of browser options.

I actually have been using flock for a little over three months and I have all but abandoned Fire Fox in the transition. Like I state in the post, almost everything I do on a daily basis (including blogging) is built right in to the browser itself. I didn’t list all of the features because that would have taken forever but I urge everyone to just give it a spin and see how it feels. Some will convert and others will remain diehard to the fox. I kind of reminds me a little of the band on the Titanic but who am I to judge.

@Ruchir: But Firefox’s plugin does not always work, and now they’re already feeling threatened. Must be a reason behind that, no?

And Mashable has already announced Flock as the Judge’s Choice Winner of Open Web Awards in Application & Widget category.

I’ve been using Flock since last year, and there are many things Flock can do but Firefox can’t – like directly uploading files to your media sharing account (complete with toolbar). We all know that Mozilla now feels threatened, thus prompted them to introduce ‘Weave’ as to integrate Firefox with Mozilla-hosted online services. At this point, Weave is like a poor version of Google’s sync service – I can only hope it gets better in the next release. Furthermore, Flock’s motto is ‘The Social Web Browser’. It really does what it’s motto say. The new release is even better than before, and not even Firefox 3 can match with its features yet.Even though both browsers are based on Mozilla’s platform, the difference in features are great still.

Anyhow, let’s just monitor their progress from the sidelines. I’m sure it would be interesting.

What flock has can be added to firefox via a plugin, can’t it?

“Although it may seem like the sly fox may be immortal and untouchable we should know from the lessons of history itself that nothing stays at the top forever.”

That doesn’t mean the reign of firefox is coming down anytime soon
