Version: Flock Browser 1.2.1
Pros: Good for connecting with people (the social networking features).
Cons: Slow compared to Camino and Safari and it's bloated.

5 stars
Version: Flock Browser 1.1.1
Pros: Flock makes so many common tasks on the web completely intuitive and naturally integrated into the browser...that you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. I ditched my Firefox with tons of extensions for Flock because it performs so much better without a bunch of extensions bogging it down.
Cons: Integrate Skype please.

"It really is the best browser out there"
Pros: When I first downloaded Flock (before 1.0 I admit I really wasn't impressed. I liked the idea, but it was slow and unreliable, and other than photobucket support I didn't use most of the features. Now, I'm completely hooked. Everything I would complain about has been fixed beyond my imagination, and much more.
I already loved Firefox, so Flock is like Firefox with some really nifty extensions, except without the hassle and much better integration than third party mishmash ever gets.
Cons: A few Firefox extensions I like give me problems, and I'd like to see more support for different social networking sites.

"Flock Browser RULES on a Mac!"
Pros: I was definitely swayed when "Cult of Mac" called Flock the 'Best Mac OSX' browser. I've used it in the past, but found myself reverting back to Safari. Now Flock has really outdone themselves. The level of integrated features and support for most of my favorite social sites (Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter) is unbelievable.
I highly recommend that you give this browser a go. It's basically Firefox underneath it all, but with a whole bunch of amazing goodies included. There's nothing else like it.
Cons: I'd like to see Digg and Pownce supported as well.

Version: Flock Browser 1.2.1
Pros: Flock does what it promises and helps organize your online life. This includes centralizing your social networking sites, RSS feeds, photo/video sharing sites, and blogs. The accessibility to all these sites from Flock is the primary benefit to this program. It's clean and fast (enough) and does what it promises. Been using it since I installed it.
Cons: If you're not a serious surfer, this browser can get a bit confusing. There is a lot to see on the interface. (Inherently, anyone needing to use Flock would not have this problem.) Flock does not seem to run as fast as Safari, which is only made up for it's features.
