"Flock - Nice Social Networking Browser"
Version: Flock 2.6.1
Pros
Flock keeps me connected to all my social networking accounts and feeds. It works quickly enough for me and has a user interface like firefox. The Roboform tool bar that I use to keep track of my usernames and passwords works great!
Cons
The Norton Tool bar is not support in Flock. However, if you use Roboform, the Norton Toolbar is not needed and can be turned off.
Summary
Firefox based Flock along with it social networking capabilities makes this browser a good choice for browser and perfect for keeping up with your friends.

"Awesome! superb. safe, reliable, and the one I use. now"
Version: Flock 2.6.1
Pros
The flock browser has many of the needed add-ons that Firefox has and chrome and opera don't. but is somehow smarter, and a little more reliable. and stands strong with adobe's Flash player witch is hard for a lot of other browsers
Cons
I don't like the fact that every time you try to open your homepage or Google that it opens up a separate page where there are links to a media news webpage called "Digg"
Summary
Get it.. Its a most Impressive way to browse the Internet

"A very good browser-"
Version: Flock 2.6.1
Pros
This new updated version of Flock is as good as the last one. it seems that all web browsers are updating now and this is the second new browser in one month. Flock 2.6.0 came out only two weeks ago and now Flock 2.6.1,which is good and works well.
Cons
None at all.
Summary
Flock is good for social networking and is one of the few browsers that has a button where you can subscribe to an rss feed. But it is also a fast browser and it is attractive .It has the same functions as it's sister browsers, Firefox ,Seamonkey and Wyzo browsers,which are part of Mozilla, the company that make the browsers.There is already a Beta version of Flock that is like Google Chrome and Chrome based. Google Chrome is a good browser, but I would hate to see Mozilla do away with the normal versions of Flock and their other browsers,and replace them with Chrome browsers. As this means we won't have a choice anymore and will have to turn to less well known browsers to do our tasks,which don't work as well as Flock or Firefox and are poor imitations.
I have just found out on the web that Flock browser is to be discontinued on 26th April 2011. Can you believe it? I will be very sorry to see this browser go as I love this browser. Not Flock 3 the Chrome version but Mozilla Flock this one. But I hope this site will keep Flock listed on here so we can still download it if we want to. Which I expect a lot of people will not want to give up this browser.I don't understand why it is being discontinued. Andrea Borman.
