So Long Mozilla
Nov 2nd, 2007 by Jack Lhasa
Dear Mozilla,
You have been my browser of choice for several years now, but it is time we part ways. Sure, you’ve got IE beat down so bad it doesn’t even seem like a browser anymore. You’ve got extensions for everything to make my web browsing easier, you’ve got a lot.
BUT you are not Flock. Flock makes browsing fun again. Tabs. Everything carried over from my mozilla settings. Sidebars for damned near everything. Works with Firefox extensions. Flock even looks good. Really good. Check the screenshot.
Media Streams are freaking awesome. Flock automatically finds all the media on a page and will display it in a slide bar at the top if you wish. Makes going through flickr or photobucket a thousand times easier.
Auto find feeds for the integrated feed reader. Which is excellent. I’ve gotten rid of Anothr all together because of this.
Syncs up with my livejournal, wordpress, flickr, youtube, del.icio.us, photobucket, and twitter. You can post to any of these from anywhere in the browser. Also supports drag and drop file sharing and uploads. Inegrated blogging interface for most sites(which I am using right now.)
Flock can be a little tricky to install on ubuntu, check out this article for help.
It’s been fun Mozilla, but we just can’t see each other anymore.
