New Flock Ditches Firefox for Chrome, Embraces Simplicity
New Flock Ditches Firefox for Chrome, Embraces Simplicity
Social media and networking-oriented web browser Flock has become somewhat schizophrenic today. The official website’s front page features the stable, Firefox-based version, but the new beta has a completely different underlying browser: Chromium, the open source web browser that powers Google Chrome.
Is this dichotomy a sign that Flock simply doesn’t know where to go next? Perhaps. Touted as “the social browser,” Flock is basically another web browser — previously Firefox, now Google Chrome — with a bunch of social networking features on top. When I reviewed Flock 2.5 approximately one year ago, it was aimed at social networking enthusiasts, trying to stuff every possible feature from Twitter and Facebook into the browser.
