Flock of Browsers

So I got curious to see what other web browsers were out there.  Was I missing something cool that the hardcore geeks consider so run of the mill they don't even talk about it?  Sure enough, it seems my suspicions were correct.  I have discovered Flock, a browser built on the Mozilla platform.  If you are into Twittering or addicted to Facebook, this one is for you.  It will import all your bookmarks, passwords, etc., is easy to use, loads quickly, AND has a sidebar where you can keep an eye on your Facebook & Twitter feeds while browsing elsewhere!  It also has a built-in blog editor and a place to add more than one webmail feed which will alert you to new mail instantly.  I'll have to use it for awhile before reporting more, but at first glance, this social-networking girl has found a new love!

Blogged with the Flock Browser

Google Chrome

For ages now, I've been the biggest Firefox fan ever.  Forget clunky old Internet Exploder, Firefox was *the* browser.  Well move over bacon, make room for something faster and sleeker!  Google Chrome loads light years faster than Firefox.  While you are still playing the "open NOW!"....."how bout NOW!" game with Firefox, GC snaps open and you are off and running.  I also love the idea of having all my most-visited sites handy to me instantly on opening rather than being confined to only one home page.  I am a creature of habit and regularly visit the same 3-5 sites each time I pop my browser open, but I don't always like to visit my sites in the same order!  The copy/paste option need some work, sometimes I have to click "select all" and then unclick it in order for the "paste" option to appear and it doesn't yet allow you to right click on a photo and set it as your wallpaper (yes people, it's WALLPAPER, not a screensaver!), but overall, this browser is my new favorite toy and I'm recommending it to everyone I know!!!  Download it here: http://www.google.com/chrome
