Flock – The Social Networking browser says Hi to Chrome, bye to Firefox

Firefox vs Chrome? Yes or No..!

Firefox vs Chrome? Yes or No..!

Friends, the War of browsers has always been very exciting. I have been using Flock at my home PC for quite sometime now (probably since version 0.8 or earlier while it was using Mozilla Firefox at it's core..!).

Yes, the NEWS is Flock - The Social Networking Browser showed it's love towards Chrome by selecting Google's Chromium project as base to build their next-generation browsing experience. Yes, Flock said bye to Mozilla Firefox.

Using Chromium as a base has given a decent boost to Flock and the sidebar gives even better social networking experience with integration with services like Facebook, Twitter and Youtube and I am sure more and more services will be added as new Flock gets mature.

You and Flocks Win..!

You as a User win with Flock :)

To me the old Firefox based Flock had better User Interface or theme, it was a sparkling theme with silver and light blue shades (default one). But now it has obviously decent theme and better and faster performance, which is what finally matters. So here we as users win along with Flock, those who choose to flock on social web with Flock. If you want to see the glimpse of old Mozilla-core based Flock see my previous post back in July 2009 introducing some exciting features of Flock - The Social Browser.

Here is the quoted paragraph from the Clayton Stark's blog post on official Flock Beta Blog about why Chromium was inevitable as a platform of choice for The Social Networking Browser. Read the rest of this entry »

Google Chrome… and the Browser war continues…!

Google Chrome has been arrived now since while..!

And war of browsers is continue with added competitor. End users are going to benefit from this as they will get better user experience as an end result of all these browser competition. So as the outcome we as end users will get feature rich, friendly, fast and secure browsing experience from most of the browsers as all of them will try to raise the bar.

Yes, Web Developers have one more browser in the list to be tested for their application or web site compatibility. Chrome is in it's beta and didn't passed ACID test yet.

There are some really nice features like:

  • In-build Task manager for ending process of each tab or viewing details of each tab.
  • Incognito mode. (Don't leave any trails when you browse).
  • Separate process running for each tab, so that one bad page won't crash rest of the tabs.
  • Ability to drag tabs out of the browser window. (That's fantastic..!)
  • Great space saving and clean look and design giving maximum viewing area for a web page.
  • Ominibox as smart Addressbar
