Flock?

Flock is a free web browser that makes it easier than ever to share photos, stay up-to-date with news from your favorite sites, and search the Web. Take our tour to learn what's different about Flock, then download the beta to get started - and please tell us what you think.

What do you guys think of this new broswer? To me it seems like Firefox. Anyways here is the link to the beta here .

I've been using it for a while. It's got a nice interface, but I'm not fond of it that much.

I downloaded it a while back, and just browsed some of the features. It's a cool broswer, although I'm still using firefox.

Seems like Flock is Firefox's younger brother. Been using it just as much as Firefox.

I hope it is, another browser would be hell for me.

As for the browser, I'm fed up with all these extra features. I use my browser for forums, searching, information and gmail, nothing else. Ease to update photos etc isn't needed.

Yes, Flock is based on Firefox. It's basically just Firefox + some Web 2.0 features + gradients.
