Back in January I wrote about my browser problems and I loudly proclaimed that they all sucked. I have to take that back though because I’ve been using a browser that totally doesn’t suck. That browser is Flock. I don’t think Flock is such a great name for a browser but a rose by any other name eh? Actually, the name is fine, I’m just being difficult.

Flock was built (from what I can determine, your mileage may vary…) with someone just like me in mind. The Flickr integration is awesome and I can post to my multiple blogs all from within the browser without having to log in to my host server. Flock is built off of Firefox but seems to run much snappier on my G4 than Firefox ever did. I don’t experience browser crashes anymore and so far I haven’t been locked out of any sites. There are a few things that seem to work…strangeley, sometimes, but since the browser is still in beta (I think) I can live with that. I can’t think of any specific quirks right now but there have been a couple of times that something happened that was unexpected, nothing life-altering though. My brother had suggested that I try Camino but I’ve been having so much fun with Flock that I don’t know when or if I’ll ever get around to testing Camino out. Way to go Flock team, y’all have a fine product.
