Flock is a Web browser built on the Firefox codebase, and is aimed squarely at social network obsessives and YouTube devotees. It integrates loads of these sites and offers features such as friend update notifications, and the posting of blog entries without having to visit a blog's admin section.
It's very useable and rather than giving you a rundown of features, we encourage you to just have a play. It's not in beta, but it's in the early stages of its life, and new functionality is sure to happen in the not-too-distant future.
Should any of the other browsers we've looked at today integrate social sites in this way? Is it completely pointless? Or is it reasonable to use two browsers for different types of Web use? Let us know on our forums.

I have tried Netscape, IE, Firefox and Safari, and I rate them as follows, Netscape 8.1 Because it is built on firefox code, but you can display pages as though you were in internet explorer, or firefox without restarting. Firefox Because of its stability and code, the browser is inpenetrable Safari because there are features in safari that i have yet to find in other browsers IE because even though this browser is fairly good, it is not because of its code. IE has the most leaks out of all the browsers, and till IE 7 came along, you were better off with Netscape 4.0 litterally.

Opera 9.5 finally has the large improvement of focusing on the tab to the right when you close one rather than the last viewed. They didn't include the ability to focus on the one to the left, though. And if you want to move to a new version, it doesn't even try to take settings from your last install. The article specifically said memory magagement in FF3 was much improved. Either some of you guys are talking about the current release versions or didn't read the article.

I have always hated IE, so that is the lowest for me. Above that I like safari. Then I like opera and Firefox about the same. I use firefox, because, 1 it is open source, and 2, It comes preinstalled with ubuntu. Yes, I am a linux fan

"IE is still the best"? Have you ever used any other browser? It's both ugly, and full of problems

IE is good for Corporate but MS has concentrated on other area's than browsing for sometime. I expect IE 8 to do better but I think FireFox is that far in front when it comes to add-ons (FoxMarks, Foxy Tunes etc etc) and performance over the others that it only going to grow. P.S - HATE with a passion that Safari gets installed when you install iTunes even if you uncheck the ****!
