Flock Internet Browser

Flock Internet Browser

Who said that Internet Explorer will never loose its place

as the top browser. It may have market share, but it sure is

not keeping up with functionality of some other browsers.

I just learned about Flock, and I am truly impressed. I

really want to thank Ed Dale and the 30 day Underachiever

Challenge for introducing me to this great browser.

First of all, from what I have heard, and from my time using

it (which is only a couple days so far - but I do use it hard)

Flock is a very stable browser. That is great, as I was

getting very annoyed with all the problems I was having with

IE.

Also flock uses less system resource than either IE or

Firefox. Now this is huge for me, as after about an hour of

surfing, working away at webpages, blogs, myspace, google and

whatever, I usually have a dozen pages open. Anyone who has

had a dozen pages open with IE knows that you are not very far

away from a crash. Well with Flock and its use of Tabs, this

is no problem.

I actually did a little test with Flock, IE and FireFox. I

opened each up and kept note of the system resources it was

using (in Task Manager). Then continued to open another page

in each, again checking the amount of resources used. At the

start IE used about 10% more than the other two. Flock was

slightly less than FF. By the time I had 6 pages open, IE was

using twice the resources that the other two were using.

But Flock has so many great features, low resource usage is

just gravy. Flock has automatic blogging function from News

Reader. It has its own News Reader in it. It has 'Click to

Block' from any web page. It has a "copy and paste to Blog"

function (with images). This function allows you to save

multiple snippets and put them all into one blog post And with

all these great ways to get content to your blog, it first

sends you to a great little editor that allows you to add

titles, your own comments, and do any kind of editing, even

html editing.

And to top it off - every time you publish it gets you to

add Tags for the social networking search engines to your post

- Awesome!!

With the help of Ed Dale, I have only scratched the surface of

what Flock can do. I will add more as I uncover more ways to

use Flock.
