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.

Flock Browser - The Social Web Browser
Flock Browser - The Social Web Browser
The Web is fast-becoming the Social Web. More and more users around the world are discovering the powerful benefits of being connected online to friends & family. At Flock, we believe passionately that this global phenomenon is literally bringing the Internet to life. It’s the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the Internet and it is fundamentally changing what we see, think and are able to do.
Because Flock is fully dedicated to enriching the social experience, over the past year, our users on Facebook have grown by 600% to over 7.5 million users. This dedicated and diverse community of Flock users has given us a privileged peek into the future. We’ve listened and learned a lot from our valued community.
With Social becoming a new way for everyone to engage, discover, work and play online, we decided last year that it was time to build a completely new and different version of Flock. Our goal was to redesign Flock to meet the needs of all active social media users, and anyone who seeks to better manage the volume of information, media and relationships they interact with online each day
