A web browser based on Firefox.

• Seems to have mutated into some other wacky special-purpose browser for social people. Whatever.

• Since abandoned.

2016-04-04 – 0.5.13.2 ∞

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060314 Flock/0.5.13.2

Looks decent!

• Stupid-looking buttons.
• I can’t figure out how to turn off the top-right search bar.
• Has blogging and photo-posting functions, which I don’t need or even want installed.
• Is missing the “apply” button for preferences.

• Bookmark management looks quite odd.

Suffers from the same issues as Firefox:

• Needs extensions to do everyday things (block ads, duplicate tabs)

• Cannot search in an edit box.
