So what makes Flock different? It is a social networking dream come true. By using a unique set of plug-ins the browser is able to communicate with almost every social network site, making it easy for the user to monitor and update said sites.
Flock version 1.1.1 is out but I am using the nightly builds called "Sulfur." I chose to use the nightly builds because they use the latest Gecko rendering engine which eliminates many rendering glitches that drove me nuts with the current, released version.
The drawbacks are that Flock takes up literally twice the amount of hard ram than OmniWeb or Safari does. At least 50% more than Camino. It also seems a little slower with all the plug-ins constantly at work for you to keep you up-to-date. Finally, the bookmarking implementation, while powerful, takes getting used to.
Still, it is aesthetically pleasing, very functional and generally well thought out. If you are a social network addict, Flock is definitely the browser for you!
