Sticking w/Flock

Posted on March 19, 2008

I’ve been using the Firefox v3 beta for the last couple of weeks to see how it behaved and I’m going back to Flock, which has been revved to version 1.1.

The problem with Firefox on the Mac is twofold. First and foremost, it is still not a well behaved application in terms of memory and CPU utilization and it’s slow, but it also suffers from a really dated UI that gives you little more than what Netscape did 10 years ago. From a product management standpoint, I just don’t know what vision they are attempting to build to.

Flock isn’t perfect, it occasionally does require a force quit and the UI is a little overdone, but the integration of services into the sidebar, like email and social networks, points to their attempt to make the browser something more than just what you use to load web pages.
