Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Built on Firefox, Flock is designed to make interfacing with social networking sites extremely easy. The browser loads pages well, but the Quick Search dialog box doesn't like it when you switch search engines, it just opens them in a new browser. Most, but not all, regular Firefox extensions work, too.
Flock's social network savvy sidebar is the reason to get this browser. Nine buttons at the top of the collapsible sidebar make accessing any of your social networking or frequently used Web sites easier than Twittering what you had for breakfast. Each button either helps you get your message out faster, like dragging-and-dropping photos into Flickr, or helps you read your friends' messages quicker, like the integrated RSS feed reader.
The People button turns the sidebar into a nifty way to track all your social networking accounts. Your avatar is displayed on the left, while the right contains links for new messages and new comments. The bottom holds the links to upload new media when applicable and a hot link to open or close your media stream.
There are also hot links to most major blogging sites, and if you choose to configure it for your own self-published blog, Flock guides you through the process. Even though it's resource-heavy, Flock is the way to go if Twittering, Facebooking, or YouTubing is how you spend most of your online time.

Version: Flock Browser 1.2.4
"This is the coolest browser for social networking I have ever seen!"
Pros: Flock was a breeze to set up! You can access just about type of social networking site available all in one place. How great is that! Send web pages, links, graphics to any of your friends with just a couple of clicks. Send a blog to several different blogs all in one fail swoop! I love the flock browser!
Cons: Flash doesn't work very well on it.

Version: Flock Browser 1.2.4
Pros: It is fun to use. I agree with all others.
Cons: It took me a while to figure this out, but with each update, the previous version is uninstalled. If Flock is not default, default will go to IE, no matter what it was before. I use Firefox as default, and if Flock is updated, I must go back to reestablish default. I have not seen this, in years.
