What's the skinny on this new-fangled browser built upon Mozilla's code?

To my understanding, Flock integrates del.icio.us and Flickr, if you use del.icio.us and Flickr often, you might want to try it.

I don't use either of these.

Ah. Thanks, Antony. Since I also don't use them, I'll give it a pass for now. Just curious.

I used some early builds a few months ago, and to me it seemed like a rebranded Firefox with some added blogging features. I didn't really dive into using their bookmarking system.

By the way, this topic would better off in the Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox forum, methinks.

You're probably right, beanboy. I didn't really know what to do with it. The bookmark feature is unusual to say the least. Not even certain what the advantage to it is other than being different.
