If you were supposed to ask anyone pc user “What are the top 3 web browsers?” I can guarantee you that Mozilla Firefox will be in the list. Known for its many useful and unique extensions, Firefox is a techie's best friend.
But now it seems that Firefox has a cousin, Flock. Though not created by the same company it mimics Firefox in many ways with the exception of a few perks.
Flock uses almost all the extensions and themes Firefox does, but allows users the power to upload photos to their flickr and photobucket accounts within a few clicks. It also facilitates blogging directly from the browser without having to go to your blog site and logging in (supports Drupal, Wordpess, Blogger and a few other blog sites). RSS feeds are no problem for this browser as well. It comes with a built in RSS Reader like IE 7.
One other feature Flock has is a clip board that allows the user to drag and drop snippets of text or even images while surfing, which can be accessed later in a session.
The icons and the GUI are modern, yet simple and sleek. I'm yet to do an extensive test with plugins and extenstions in Flock vs Firefox to see which uses more memory.
Off the bat Flock is a good browser, and is being marketted as "the social web browser" Even though it is in it's beta stage - Beta 1 vesion 0.7 - flock unleashes the power of Mozilla Firefox with useful tools for surfers.
