IE7 Good, Firefox Better, Flock Best!?

November 20, 2007 by Ryan 

Today, reading through my RSS feeds, I ran across this post about Firefox and a new browser called Flock.  It caught my attention because I have been a big fan of Firefox.  I seriously get annoyed with Internet Explorer.  I hate how it screws with my websites and how it messes up transparency on png files! 

I have been a longtime user of Firefox.  I love the tabbed browsing.  I love all the customization and extensions.  But I have noticed with how many tabs I typically have, Firefox can get pretty heavy on the memory usage on my computers.  At home on my laptop it’s less of a concern, but at work with my measly little memory it can lock things up pretty easily.  That’s what caught my eye in the TechCrunch post.

I’d read about Flock before…well, more just skimmed over a post about it.  It’s big thing is that it’s a “social browser.”  It tries to integrate more of the social networks people use (blogs, flickr, del.icio.us, Twitter, etc., etc.) and do so more seamlessly into the browser.  I decided to give it a shot, downloaded it and have been pulling in some of my accounts.  In fact, I am writing this post from Flock!
