June 24, 2008 – 6:40 am
I’ve been Firefox for quite some time now…. in fact I’m using it for more than 3 years. Not that I totally dumped Internet Explorer since I design web sites for my self and you need to test a web page in IE as it’s actually used by the vast majority of internet users. And I did like the IE7 a lot.
Recently I installed the Flock browser using it along with Firefox and Internet Explorer. I won’t use the word “switch” because I haven’t switched from Firefox to Flock, only added it to my arsenal. And Flock is an awesome browser. Simply brilliant. Since Flock is built on the same engine that runs Firefox (Gecko), the browsing experience is very much similar to Firefox. It’s like a powerful enhanced version of Firefox. But while Flock may initiate with the Gecko rendering engine, it considerably individualizes itself from Firefox by integrating features intended to facilitate you keep up with all your contacts in the social networking arena. That’s a huge plus for all Firefox lovers. Moreover most of the Firefox add-ons are good for Flock as well. So, you don’t have to worry about losing your favorite Firefox extensions.
So, what makes Flock to score over Firefox as the preferred browser even to the one Firefox fans?
Usability which results in saving a lot of time has made the browser that Flock is. Flock is built specifically for a new, emerging generation of Web users, one that isn’t satisfied passively browsing media online. Flock expects to transform the browser into a dashboard for collaborating, blogging, sharing photos, reveling in a raft of other Web 2.0 activities that have make the internet sizzling hot in recent times. Here’s a full review of the Flock browser.
But it’s only the beginning of what that’s going to change your browsing patterns for ever. The end user benefits as the war for excellence hots up. Firefox recently launched the all new Firefox 3. Added features and enhanced usability are the highlights of this brand new version of Firefox.
Is there any relation between Firefox and Flock apart being buit on the same engine ?
Flock is powered by Mozilla, the same fast and secure engine that powers the Firefox browser! Here’s the full story . . . .
