Flock (browser) Beta

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » June 14th, 2006, 6:47

Just came across this - http://www.flock.com

Firefox/Mozilla based browser, with built in support for soloman*

Apparently uses less memory than firefox and has a blobby skin.

*intergrated[sic] features such as direct Blog support (Blogger, Drupal, LiveJournal, MoveableType, Typepad and WordPress supported)

tried it, didn't like it for my needs, returned to the burning weasel.
It looks nice though, if that's your kind of thing.

I wanted to combine iFox with the Fission extension for maximum Safari camoflage but, in the wtf of the next 3 minutes, they don't work together.

Been using Flock for the last couple of days, works with my Firefox plugins like Mouse Gestures, but makes the toolbar entries a bit wide.

Might be alright for the popular blog users (myspace) and other people who have the delusion that anyone is interested in them or their bookmarks (delicious, shadow) the way it posts images is thusly:

Photobucket<a title="d_a_tt_spaz.jpg" href="http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/ ... .jpg"><img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/ ... t_spaz.jpg" border="0"></a> Flickr<a title="S5000079" href="http://flickr.com/photos/29949792@N00/226397897"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/79/226397897_655ebbe68b_m.jpg" border="0"></a>

It's a piece of piss to do, but could use a lot more control about how it decides on thumbnail size, etc and the ability to use BBcode would be good. I would much rather it were a Firefox plugin than a complete browser replacement, but I see some mileage in it, for when I can't be arsed.
