A new web browser called Flock has been released for public testing. It’s based on Mozilla, but adds some interesting new features.
I downloaded the Linux source code, extracted the file to my home directory in Suse and the program started without trouble.
Flock resembles Firefox, more than Mozilla, with a snappy modern theme.
Bookmarks integrate with the online service, del.icio.us. I’m feeling my way with that just now, but it’s an interesting concept.
The other key innovation is a blogging tool. I’m writing this entry in Flock without having to login to my site.
There’s a good article here, which describes the philosphy and business plan behind Flock. The program is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh. Give it a try!
