Flock Web Browser

Flock has been improving in each version, and it is way more Mac-like than Firefox (better design and windows open faster, for example), it has integration with the del.icio.us and Shadows services for bookmarks (if you do not know Shadows, check out my Shadows page (with bookmarks imported from delicious), besides a Flickr viewer and uploader built-in and blogging support from the browser.

It's no Speed Freak like Camino, but it supports various Firefox extensions (including the most popular)

It's currently at version 0.5.12, and I still can't use this as my default browser because it locks up frequently (even locks up my OS X!), but it is definitely a browser for us to watch for.

Sorry it locks up for you.

It is definitely still pre1.0 and we are worried more about thinking about how users want to interact with the internet than how stable/fast it is now. Not that those issues aren't important. Our ideas like full text indexing of every page your on makes a huge difference to me. I hate how slow flock is... but being able to type any word on any page I have been at in the search bar and have it pop up makes a world of difference.

We flock devs hope to have something out for you that is stable/fast in the coming months. 1.0 is going to be nice!
