Flock - the web browser

[Wetzel]

I'll wait for a non beta version and let you know how that goes.

I actually like this browser, it has all the right plugins, though the blogging doesn't always work completely (when submitting a post to a WordPress blog, it hangs at the data submission process and doesn't say when its completed).

Pros:

• Based on Firefox
• Great photo feed support from Photobucket and Flickr
• Built-in Blogging Support (Right click an image, link, or page and hit "Blog This")
• Nearly all Firefox plugins work and Flock has released a converter for them
• Built-in RSS Reader

Cons:

• No built in support for Google Video, YouTube, Photobucket Video, etc.
• A lot of Yahoo stuff is tied to it, sometimes without the ability to change the setting (I prefer Google over Yahoo for searching)
• One word: Beta

Overall, its a really great browser with some pretty cool features that build upon Firefox's familiar interface and code compliancy. I'll still use it during the beta phases since its got some features that I wish I had back with Firefox.

I was referring to how the Flock start page, while it looked good, was tied into Yahoo, and that couldn't be changed.

I downloaded it last night and i rather like it. With some of the extensions, it actually became easier for me. I find it almost as good as Firefox, but I do enjoy it.
