OPEN DISCUSSION: Flock 3 has been released it is based on google chrome Would u ever use a google chrome based flock for social networking ?
The flock web browser is generally based on mozilla firefox 's gecko web engine.
The same engine that firefox 3 uses with XUL.
Their change to chromium so they have stated was based on several things, one of which the lack of specific CSS3 support within the gecko engine.
I personally want a little less google and branding in my life (that's just me) .
Would you or do you see yourself ever use a google chrome based version of flock for everyday social networking ?
Why or why not ?

But the browsers in many ways are the exact opposite.
Chrome was designed for simplicity, speed, for the browser to get out tof the way of your browsing.
While Flock's whole thing has been social which means the broswer is always up in your face.

Besides Firefox may have cooties. OK that is just a reference to the comical headline below, but the bottom line appears to be that Chromium is fast and ready for mobile platforms.

Here is another interesting read that compares Flock 3.0 to the older versions and talks more about the Chromium switch. Interestingly it seems to loose some features in favor of raw speed. If you like 2 there is a 2.6 update that has recent security fixes and and it may release an update to have old-school Flock using on Firefox 3.6

I . . . dare I admit it . . . kind of like the new internet explorer sure it hasn't pulled me off of Chrome, but it isn't bad at all.
Perhaps I am easy, but I rarely look at a browser and think EWWW what a terrible interface. I think they are all pretty good or better.
Thanks for the tip I will look into it.
If Firefox has cooties, I wonder what IE has (although to be fair, I hear IE8 is heading in a better direction than it has in the past). :D

You guys should check out SRWare IRON
As an additional points on Firefox for Flock, is that it is based on open source browser code and I felt the stability of the platform, compared to Flock on Google Chrome which is still in Beta, bugs may be a constant threat and some thing could still go wrong in the early stages. Another added bane is that "developers have swapped out Chrome's bookmark folder system in favor of a tagging model. Although the tagging approach is not bad, the absence of folders demolishes the usefulness of the browser's bookmark bar."
As a final note, I will continue to stick with Flock on Firefox right now due to the fact that it is already built on firm ground and I don't see any reason to shift to Flock 3 based on Google Chrome.
