    Flock would be really great, except they have still not updated some of the localisations (especially English GB) which i need.

    I love this browser as it's a great alternative to Firefox & in terms of speed & performance flock beats Firefox hands down, It has everything you could ever want in a modern day browser & it handles all my Yahoo & Youtube accounts with ease which is what I want in a browser. Just because Flock is for social networking dose not mean that you can't use it for everyday browsing because you can so if you're sick of the Firefox hype then give flock a try.

    So far I am loving FLOCK with 6 months of use. It has a few built in add-ons already installed, but not the good ones like you can get with Firefox. Much quicker load times then other browsers, only Chrome is quicker.
    The main and really only reason I use FLOCK is for it's compatibility with Facebook. All Facebook users need to use Flock, Even while I'm on Betanews I can see on the bottom status bar that I have 97 contacts online and I can chat with them if I choose.
    I would give it 5 stars, but it's not nearly as good as Firefox, only because of the add-ons Firefox has. Bottom line, if you use Facebook, Myspace, Digg, Twitter and a bunch of other sites like those I'd recommend using FLOCK while you use them.

    What the flock is this? Why would I want to use this? I un-installed it right after trying it for 30 minutes

    Flock would have to be one of the best browsers I have used & I'm glad I found it as it's perfect & has all the features that a modern web browser should have, It can handle your social networking & media accounts such as photo & video sharing sites without any issues what so ever & the built in RSS reader is a tool which I have been looking for. In terms of speed & performance Flock beats Firefox hands down which I found quite surprising because some web surfers may consider this browser to be bloat ware.

    If you have a lot of accounts which you need to manage then I would strongly recommend that you give this browser a go it just might be what you are looking for.
