Flock: the Add- on browser

For several days i have been looking at some of the more underrated browsers, and have found a gem among some lumps of coal. It's name was Flock. Name aside, this browser fits amazingly into everyday life as one of the most social of browsers. It acts as a Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. client. It also acts as an easy e-mail checker that requires a mere click to see your e-mails from Yahoo or G-mail. It has a media manager that allows simple access to sites like Flickr and YouTube. After the add-ons, you have a very fast web browser that is in the league of common browsers such as Opera. However, Flock is a project that could undoubtedly be improved starting with the boring layout. It has a theme feature but only two themes available. With a plethora of add-ons, it seems odd that each web page has a small amount of ram. This is what separates Flock from Firefox. Overall, this browser is fun, but far from perfect
