Flock is a web browser heavily based upon Mozilla Firefox and other Mozilla technologies. Flock's creators call it a "social browser", due to its ability to interact with popular social networking web services. Such web services include Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Del.icio.us, Technorati, Photobucket, and various popular blogging and news aggregation services.



Features

The current release has the following feature differences from Firefox:

* Flock's custom homepage, "My World", tells you when your friends have new photos and videos and when you have new feeds. My World gives quick access to your recently visited favorite sites as well.
* Bookmarks, in addition to being saved offline, can be replaced with del.icio.us. When a bookmark (known as a favorite) is added, it is added to the user's del.icio.us account.
* Favorites can be tagged
* A favorites and history section are integrated into the favorites manager
* Built-in full-text search using Clucene. Search as you type for pages in the cache
* Flickr and Photobucket integration
* Technorati tagging
* Blogging tools
* News aggregator
* "Drag-and-drop" capability and a clipboard like feature known as "The Shelf."
* Media Mini Bar, allows you to search, stream, and view content off of sites like YouTube and Truveo.
* Built in uploader, to submit content to flickr and photobucket

Many of these features can be attained through extensions for Firefox. For example, del.icio.us Bookmarks, developed by Yahoo!, Inc., provides integration with del.icio.us online bookmarks. Fotofox, developed as an official extension by the Mozilla Corporation, integrates with Flickr. Sage provides a built in news reader, similar to Thunderbird's.

Recommendation: If you heavily use firefox and if you are a facebook, flickr addict then use this browser. built on the top of firefox engine, you can use all your favorite firefox extensions, settings and everything!

I used flock before, but it didn't serve me as well as the original firefox did. But with facebook integration this version might be good for me!
