Ω > U
So says 'Flock'...

Wants to kick IE and FF and other browsers in the groin by its overkill on blogging, MySpace, and other social emphases.

Not sure what to think...just something we came across at work.

You can describe Flock as Firefox with a bunch of extensions pre-installed..

Yeah, good luck finding any mention of it on their site, though (Hint: Under "release notes" -- "All the Mozilla patches up to 2.0.0.9")

This looks like a piece of generic trash that needs taken out... then again, I guess it'd make life easier:

if (str_pos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], "Flock")) die("Go back to MySpace.");

(did I mention I hate MySpace and its various offspring yet?)

honestly I miss the old mozilla suite, without the stupid SeaMonkey name (or whatever they're calling it these days...)

speaking of firefox though, didnt they go through a few names before finally settling on one that wouldn't get them sued? I think it was originally called Phoenix, then they moved it to FireBird for a few releases, and finally firefox...

anyway, this is all just rubbish, and I really can't see the general public picking it up. There's just too much hype about Firefox, and too much accessibility to IE for people to care about it really. And the opera crowd? I don't think they'd switch if god came down from heaven and told them too lol.

Opera > FireFox > IE7 > IE6- > Flock
Yes, even older IE versions are better than flock.

Fixed. Anger levels at IE6 are greater than at flock.

I don't get it. Why does installing a bunch of stupid extensions into Firefox make it worse than IE? Dumb idea, but come on, IE?

Because Flock is a piece of crap?

@Darkdata: Opera does seem to be faster than FF but meh.

while($icecream == 1;)
{
echo "Hello, Flock 'star', welcome to my neverending error message. Fleee in terror! Ha ha ha ha haaaaa!!!!";
}
}

Okay, a little overkill, but jeez. It looks bad.

Netscape 4.0 is far superior.
