This is not the very first time I am seeing this browser. I first saw it on a friend’s laptop about a week ago but never aid attention to it. I am so happy and contented with Mozilla Firefox and don’t even want to try any other browser unless absolutely necessary.
However, my Firefox really made me angry today. Kept on crashing at an unbearable speed. I wanted to think of this as a temporal situation so I decided to get another browser that I could use just for today, hoping that tomorrow, I will find my Firefox working like magic.
I had a problem of choice. didn’t know which browser to go for, so I decided to check out some reviews. On the very first list I saw, Flock with second, after Firefox. After reading that it is based on Firefox 3 plus some kudos, I didn’t hesitate downloading and trying it.
Flock rocks!!! I find it difficult to believe, but to my opinion it is faster and more stable than Firefox 3. The only problem is that the edit screen looks kind of crowded and strange to me, but I believe I will get used to it. I will reserve Firefox only for tasks I can’t accomplish with Flock.
If you are looking for a second browser to add to Firefox, I suggest Flock.
I really don’t want to put it this way, but it seems Google couldn’t build the type of browser they ranted about for so long. For some reason, it seems they are not even promoting it. Remember the type of promotion they did for Firefox? If they could do same for Chrome, I am sure in less than a year 80% of the web will be Chromized.
What is wrong with Chrome? First of all, I get mixed up by “it is a new browser” and “it is built from Firefox”. Either way, it is supposed to be a very good browser if well done. If it was built from scratch, then several components not available on the web today may have been incorporated into it. If it was built from Firefox, Firefox is a good browser so Chrome should be better.
I can’t find any statistical data but I still hold grounds that if Chrome was what they said it is, then somehow one can tell it is popular. I haven’t seen any review that puts it as the best browser, yet.

Are you a heavy surfer? Do you have tens of accounts on different websites? I guess you must be aving fun saving your account details (username and password) on each site so that you don’t have to retype them each time you want to log in. Cool! However, do this if and only if you are using a private computer. Never try it in public places.
When signing into a site for the very fisrt time, firefox asks you permission to save your log in details. To avoid saving the wrong password, wait until you are successfully logged in before clicking on the “remember” button.
