    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.

    On my laptop(LG E500) it runs much better than FF3. I don't use all any of the socializing do-dads, but as a browser it does a good job. My Yahoo home page works properly, unlike with FF3. Also when I start Flock the home page runs nicely with no initial freeze, which happens with FF3. Boo-hoo, extensions of any use are practically nil, but maybe that's a good thing.

    It imported all of my bookmarks and passwords with no problem.

    Good browser overall. Would have earned a 5 rating if the default UI blended into a Mac OS X Leopard environment.

    Excellent browser, I use it often, as good as firefox as far as I am concerned. Well done.

    I give it a 5 for effort, and more importantly-- listening to the public for wanted features... something practically all other browsers fail at...

    but it still needs a lot of work.

    I encourage you to download it, use it, join the community, offer suggestions...the only way to get what we all need and want.
