PIXIEMINX  Great version - wish picslens/cooliris worked (1password works fine!) - this is a browser should be.

MEMPHISBIRD  But ... but ... but ...Flock DOES work with 1 Password. Flock is my default browser, and 1Password works with it just like it does with Firefox and Safari.

BOLOBAR  Ooops, you're right. It wasn't checked in Preferences. Your comment got me up to speed. I will still use Camino as my default browser however.

GROOVYDAVE  Really excellent browser that could be extraordinary down the road. The little things that make this browser unique and that sets it apart from Safari and Firefox are too numerous to mention.

I instantly got a feeling of "How did I live without this?" within the first hour of using it. It's blazing fast -- much, much faster than its competitors -- and the personalization (I'm not talking skins and themes) truly makes it feel like this one's mine and only mine.

One suggestion: Love the "My World" but I would love options of a static site list of favorites.

ZX81  Be aware that, as mentioned on the Flock site, "this is a BETA version of Flock 1.1, and will not use your browser profile from any previous version of Flock. This is a clean install. This means that when you install this build, you will not have your previous Flock favorites, feeds, or personal info. This info is not deleted, it's simply not accessed."

WEB-JIVE  Thats easy to remedy. When you go into the app support folder on mac, rename the flockbeta dir to something else then rename the old flock dir to flock beta and flock will migrate everything.

MACINTOSH SAUCE  I just downloaded Flock 1.0.8 and tried it on my Mac Pro with Leopard. WOW! I am going to use it all day to get a better feel for it. Initially, I have a very good impression of this new browser.

Very impressive Flock!

GARRULOUS  Flock is a great browser. The integrated rss reader alone makes this my default browser over Safari or Firefox. Flock is very much a "full screen" browser, and is what I use when looking to spend time surfing, looking for new sites, and of course keeping tabs on my Facebook and YouTube profiles. Also tuna.

TFINDLAY  I'm using Flock on an Intel iMac with Leopard. Absolutely flawless performance. This is the best browser I have yet come across. It has the special social network features but you are not forced to use them. They are just there and can be invoked as desired. Brilliant design!

DP-G4-450GUY  BROKEN

Read the Flock info about crash-at-startup, deleted everything visible and invisible about Flock, reinstalled, still crashes at startup.

Went to fresh/clean 10.3.9 install volume, tried it there, 17 bounces in the dock, and crashed.

You have a serious, fatal bug with 1.0.

G4 dual-processor 450MHz PPC machine.

At this point, have to say thumbs-down.
