Flock 2.2.509

Flock is a super fast social networking browser that is based on the Chromium engine. It was originally built on Firefox but has now transitioned to Chromium for faster performance and superior stability.

One of the standout features of Flock is its broad integration with various social networks and blog sites. Unlike other browsers, Flock offers integration with LinkedIn, Flickr, and YouTube, in addition to the usual Facebook and Twitter. This allows users to easily access and manage their social media accounts all in one place.

When you first launch Flock, you have the option to import settings from Firefox or Safari. The transition is seamless and you'll immediately notice the speed and efficiency of the Chromium engine. Browsing is lightning fast and the browser consumes minimal system resources.

Flock also excels in its social networking capabilities. It provides special tools to keep track of your friends from different social networking sites, write directly on your blog, upload images to your photo sharing site, and access your favorite feeds and social sites (such as Digg, Twitter, and YouTube) with ease.

However, one drawback of Flock is that all the social networking features open on sidebars, which means you can't have all of them active at the same time. Despite this limitation, it's still convenient to update your social media accounts within the browser without the need for third-party clients.

When you close Flock, it gives you the option to sign up for a Flock account, which allows your previous pages and tabs to be remembered. This feature is similar to what Firefox and Chrome offer by default, so it may not be necessary for everyone.

Flock 3.5 is the fastest version of Flock yet, thanks to its transition to the Chromium engine. However, it now faces competition from other browsers like RockMelt, which also aims to dominate the social networking browser market.
