    Yeah, playing with it I just generally got the feeling that it's a Firefox clone. They say it's going to offer a "total user experience" but at this point it doesn't offer anything I can't get with Firefox. I'll certainly keep an eye on them though.

Flock sports a layout similar to Firefox, with a navigation toolbar, bookmark toolbar, a search tabbed interface, and so forth. But it has been dubbed a "social browser" because it integrates with weblogs, photo and bookmark sharing, and other "social" services on the Web.
    I haven't tried it thought... Maybe when they're done integrating some of their "social" services, now it seems to be almost nothing difference from firefox. They need some time to change it to their likings

    Speaking for myself, I'll be more likely to try the new Firefox 1.5 release which has just appeared on the FF website!

    i've been hearing about this all day (even the BBC have announced that Firefox 1.5 will be released today) but all i can see is 1.5 RC3. Am i missing something?

    Edit: i now realise that in parts of America it's now about 9am
