“This year, Flock divorced Firefox. Now it’s married to Google’s Chrome browser,” McElfresh reports. “Chrome is based on WebKit, the engine in Apple’s Safari browser.”
McElfresh reports, “The new Flock 3 still integrates a number of social web sites into browser windows and handy, tool-like sidebars. There’s support for Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, to mention a few. Flock on Chrome is easier to use, fast, stable, secure, slimmed down, and with fewer features. So, why bother with yet another free browser on your Mac? Because you love being a social animal and it’s nice to socialize from one single app, rather than many apps.”

I am not a social animal.
I got your social hanging.
Meh. No thanks. I’m an anti-social SOB…
Of no interest to me then!
I’m not too social either. That’s why I left in the first place.
That just sounds like a more efficient way to waste more time. No, thank you.
Not much into social stuff, I’m surprising myself by posting here.
Wow, with even MORE distractions built in along the edges of each and every browser window!
Not for me, but I think there’s a whole world of folks who will love it.
When first I read “Flock on Chrome”, I thought it said “Fock on Chrome”… those Flockers…
Everywhere, most recently at Thanksgiving gatherings, I see a departure from FaceBook & Twitter.
It’s all about signal to noise.
I hate social networking…
whatever happened to the good old days when geeks were geeks, and normal people didn’t have computers…
forget chrome? I can’t. obviously you don’t know what internet browser is the best in the market. safari? no thank you. flock? no. it is your case. don’t try to tell us what is the best. everybody is different. I hate facebook. twitter stuff. so shut up.
I don’t do the social crap, but Flock is nice looking and quite fast.
How about a Get Off My Lawn browser for grumpy bastards.
Meet the Flockers. This Flock is better than the old Flock. Less clutter, easier to use, faster. What would be cool is if the Flock sidebar had a MDN button with auto login, and auto comment field for each MDN article. That would be a pretty slick option.
Sounds like people aren’t really flocking to it.
Yes – I went there.
@Zaphod
Spot on.
Haven’t we all had enough of the navel gazing social media bullshit yet? It’s about as over hyped as cloud computing.
BTW FarceBook peeps, when you post a picture or whatever to “your” FarceBook page it becomes the intellectual property of FarceBook.
My gorilla uses Flock.
My Uncle Social says that it is sexist to blame everything on my Auntie Social!
A lot of “anti-social” people talking to.. themselves?

It’s called a Mossberg 500A Tactical Persuader 12ga shotgun. Works every time >8^)
Am I the only one using RockMelt?
Flock me, not another new browser? The pimps at Google will be happy the hoes will be using this on Facebook to pull in the Johns.
Flocking is for Christmas trees, sheep, and geese..
and also for seagulls..
